Darey.io Launches Africa’s First AI-Driven Tech Talent Platform, Xterns AI
Darey.io has announced the launch of Xterns AI, Africa’s first AI-powered tech talent platform. This platform aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and tech industry experience by leveraging AI’s analytical capabilities. Darey.io has previously equipped over 3,000 African professionals with industry-ready skills, supporting the continent’s burgeoning tech ecosystem.
Africa’s tech ecosystem holds immense potential, but there is a significant talent gap. Experts attribute this gap to the disparity between theoretical and practical knowledge, which impacts employment prospects. Traditional education struggles to keep up with the fast-paced advancements in technology, creating a challenge for tech professionals to gain relevant, up-to-date skills.
Xterns AI is designed to address these challenges for established tech professionals, employers, and emerging talent. Xterns AI simulates real job scenarios, creating an environment where knowledge meets application, facilitating the transition from theory to practice.
For tech leaders, Xterns AI provides a platform that automates routine tasks, allowing them to focus on offering meaningful guidance. This feature empowers tech leaders to provide focused mentorship and support emerging professionals more effectively.
For rising talent, the platform offers hands-on experience in areas like collaboration, strategic thinking, and adaptability. Through these experiences, emerging professionals can transition from theoretical knowledge to practical, industry-relevant skills.
For employers, Xterns AI provides insights into candidates’ practical skills, enabling them to make more informed hiring decisions. This feature enhances recruitment efficiency by helping employers identify job-ready talent based on real-world project performance.
This initiative aims to cultivate a new generation of tech professionals and create an environment where this generation can better handle the challenges of the tech industry.
