Get Into Tech: Entering The Field Through Data Analytics with Ebere Oyekwe, Founder of Tekdlin

In the heart of the technological evolution that is happening in 2024, Tekdlin is making its mark through innovation and empowerment, guided by its founder, Ebere Oyekwe. With a commitment to transforming lives through technology, Oyekwe is pushing the limits of tech education and career pathfinding, focusing on data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning.

Speaking with Oyekwe, she explained Tekdlin’s cohorts, which help place people in tech careers that open doors to further pathways into the tech world. There is currently a waiting list, which you can sign up for on the Tekdlin website.

Cultivating Expertise

Central to Tekdlin’s mission is the cultivation of highly skilled professionals ready to navigate and thrive in the digital landscape. The Tekdlin cohorts, now in their fourth iteration, represent the pinnacle of this commitment. As a rigorous program, the current cohort exemplifies Oyekwe’s holistic approach to tech education.

“We take the time to really hold your hand,” Oyekwe said. “Our job is to teach you everything you need in order to enter the professional tech space. From there, we support you along the way, even after you find your dream job.”

Comprehensive Journey

Oyekwe and her team ensure that every participant not only gains in-depth technical skills but also receives unparalleled support in translating these competencies into career opportunities. From resume crafting to LinkedIn optimization, Tekdlin’s add-on services go beyond the conventional, emphasizing a hands-on approach to career transformation.

“It’s not enough these days to just ‘know your stuff,’” Oyekwe went on. “You have to have all the tools in your belt, all the puzzle pieces in the right place. We offer every single building block you need to succeed in entering the industry.”

Innovative Learning Tools

Participants in the cohorts gain access to Tekdlin’s Training Management System (TMS), a state-of-the-art platform enhanced by an AI chatbot that is specifically trained to provide instant access to a wealth of information and support related to the field. This innovative tool underscores Tekdlin’s dedication to making learning both accessible and interactive.

“Our AI chatbot is there to answer questions when myself or my team is not available,” Oyekwe explained. “It’s all well and good that you get the job you want, but what happens when you are assigned something you aren’t sure how to complete, or someone asks you to do something you don’t quite understand? We stay in your corner to help with these instances so that you can shine in your position and keep the job you worked so hard to get.”

Global Reach, Personalized Experience

Acknowledging the diversity of its learners, Tekdlin offers cohort training tailored to accommodate individuals across various time zones, particularly noting a significant cohort in Africa. This global perspective is balanced with a commitment to personalized learning experiences, ensuring that no matter where a participant is in the world, they receive the support and guidance tailored to their individual needs.

“I am from Nigeria, and I have found a supportive community in Dallas,” Oyekwe shared. “It matters to me that everyone feels welcomed, supported, and educated enough to go after their dreams. That is the core of what we do here.”

Beyond Education to Empowerment

With a vision that extends into the realm of consultancy, Oyekwe aims to redefine its long-term strategy to focus on B2B engagements in late 2024 moving into 2025. This pivot underscores a broader ambition to impact the tech industry not just through individual empowerment but also through organizational transformation.

“My team and I have helped so many people enter the tech space in the past few years,” Oyekwe said. “We feel it is our responsibility to aid companies who might feel a bit overwhelmed, disorganized, or understaffed by consulting them to new heights.”

She joked that this news is something Tekdlin wants to tease, while further plans will be announced much later in the year.

Success Stories and Future Aspirations

Tekdlin prides itself on successfully transitioning its cohort participants into their desired tech roles, ranging from HR analytics to healthcare IT support. These success stories are a testament to Tekdlin’s effectiveness and the impactful work of Ebere Oyekwe.

“Honestly, our students are all brilliant learners,” Oyekwe shared. “They work hard, absorb the learning, and make every step we recommend. I am looking forward to seeing where our current cohort students go next.”

Looking Ahead

As Tekdlin prepares for its next phases, including two additional cohorts — the next being July 12th, 2024 — and a refined focus on standalone courses later this year, the commitment to raising the bar for tech education remains unwavering. With plans to further expand the number of cohorts available in 2025, Tekdlin is poised to broaden its reach and impact.

“This year has been tricky for many, and my hope is that I will be able to place 1,000 professionals into their dream jobs by the end of the year,” Oyekwe said.
