The Tiraka STEM-Plux Ambassadorship Program (TSPA) is an initiative designed to inspire and cultivate a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among students. TSPA offers a more holistic approach to education and innovation, reflecting the interconnected nature of these disciplines in solving real-world problems.
Tiraka recognizes the struggles that young professionals and university students encounter when transitioning from education to employment. Our aim is to tackle the work experience gap and alleviate the barriers that hinder employers from hiring fresh graduates. With Tiraka’s assistance, you can smoothly move from your academic journey to a rewarding career, accessing diverse opportunities and realizing your full potential in the workforce.
Ambassadors are trained in cutting-edge technology and they are exposed to real-word projects and internship opportunities. They also become reverse mentors, completing transformative projects in their communities.
We are currently working on delivering projects in rural Nigeria, join us, donate to support us.
The Tiraka STEM-Plux Ambassadorship (TSPA) provides experiential STEM training covering topics in coding, digital content creation, web development, and more. We provide skills that the students can deploy immediately for internships, job placement, and entrepreneurial adventures.
This quarter, we want to start providing world-class STEM education to 50 more students in a rural town in Osun State, Nigeria, where others don’t dare go. These students are eager to learn, full of potential and hungry for opportunities that can change their future.
We aim to train these 50 students over eight months in essential STEM skills—coding, digital content creation, and web development—and match them with internship opportunities and practical work experience to gain real-world experience.
We will host three months of intensive training in cutting-edge technology skills and five months of real-world internship.
Thank you for joining us in rewriting the stories for 50 more students joining this cohort as you donate to help us reach more students with skills that will set them up for improved future outcomes.
Thank you for making a difference.
