As AI transforms Kenya’s workplaces, GOMYCODE is stepping in to equip businesses for the future through its new ‘GOMYCODE for Business’ program, designed to help companies thrive in the fast-changing digital economy and prepare for the AI-driven future of work.
The announcement, made during the company’s second-anniversary celebration in Nairobi, marks a significant expansion of GOMYCODE’s mission, moving from training students to empowering entire organizations to future-proof their teams and operations.
Beneath the excitement around AI’s potential to transform African economies, a deeper challenge persists: most organizations recognize the need to innovate, yet struggle to find or train talent equipped with the right digital skills to drive that change. According to the Kenya Digital Economy Report 2024 by the World Bank, nearly 70 percent of companies in Kenya cite digital-skills shortages as a key barrier to adopting modern technologies.
One organization leading the charge to close this gap is GOMYCODE Kenya, a fast-growing tech education company that has spent the past two years helping young professionals launch digital careers and build future-ready skills.
Now, as it marks its second year in Kenya, GOMYCODE has unveiled its most ambitious initiative yet: ‘GOMYCODE for Business’, a tailored upskilling program designed to help companies navigate digital transformation with confidence and speed.
“The skills gap is no longer just a youth-employment issue, it’s a business-survival issue,” said Mellany Msengezi, Country Director at GOMYCODE Kenya. “We’ve spent two years building tech talent from the ground up. Now, we’re meeting companies where they are, and helping them prepare for the next wave of digital disruption.”
Unlike conventional corporate-training programs, GOMYCODE for Business adopts a modular, outcomes-driven approach. It focuses on practical, hands-on upskilling in areas such as AI literacy, data analytics, cloud technologies, and modern software tools, offering flexible formats for in-office, remote, or hybrid teams alike.
The goal is not just to “train,” but to empower teams to apply new skills directly to real-world business challenges. Already, organizations across finance, logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare are piloting the program across Africa.
“The demand is there. What’s missing is structured, tech-first training that adapts to business needs, not the other way around,” added Yahya Bouhlel, CEO and Founder of GOMYCODE.
Kenya’s youthful population and rapidly growing tech ecosystem make it one of Africa’s leading innovation hubs. Yet experts warn that unless companies invest in workforce digital readiness, they risk losing ground in global competitiveness and innovation.
That’s the challenge GOMYCODE is determined to solve. By bridging the gap between learning and business performance, the company is positioning itself not just as a coding school, but as a strategic partner in shaping Kenya’s digital future.
