Dolcezza Africa Accelerator 2026 is a 97 percent scholarship programme in Frontend Development, Backend Development, UI/UX Design, and Data Analytics, built to close the gap between education and employment. Every single graduate moves into a 6 month internship. You put in the work for two months, we put you to work for six.
Let us be honest about something. Nigeria is not short of talent. We have people who can design, build, and solve problems as well as anyone anywhere in the world. What we are short of is the bridge between having the skill and actually getting paid for it.
That is the real gap. School gives you a certificate. It does not always give you a job. Dolcezza Africa Accelerator 2026 was built to close that exact gap, with a 97 percent scholarship on the way in, and a guaranteed 6 month internship on the way out. You are not just learning here. You are being placed.
