Our Community Focus
We combine practical tech education with mentorship, inclusion, and ongoing support.
Accessibility
Technology education shouldn't be limited by family income or connections. We remove financial barriers and actively reach out to underserved communities.
Practical Learning
Our students work on real projects and graduate with portfolios that demonstrate their abilities to potential employers.
Community
We build lasting relationships with our students and graduates, creating a supportive network that helps everyone succeed.
Honesty
We're transparent about both opportunities and challenges in tech careers. Success requires real commitment and hard work.
Our Mission
Community Outreach is our front door: it reaches young people, families and schools before they are ready to apply, and builds the trust that leads to joining a club or a course.

How it works
Show up
ITFY activates in schools, events, and community spaces where awareness gaps remain high and trust must be earned.
Demystify
Facilitators turn big ideas about technology and opportunity into practical, relatable conversations that resonate locally.
Engage
Learners and community members interact through talks, mini-workshops, and early exposure activities that build confidence.
Convert
Anyone interested is linked to a programme, a club or our mailing list, depending on where they are.

Who it is for
Community Outreach is for anyone not yet inside the training pipeline but ready to engage — especially where awareness, access, or trust are still the primary barriers to participation.
- Students who need first exposure before they are ready to apply for cohort training.
- Parents, schools, and community leaders who influence learner decisions and participation.
- Partners seeking visible, community-facing engagement formats that build credibility.
- Most outreach formats are open-access and designed for broad participation.
- No prior technical background is required for entry-level engagement.
- What comes next depends on each person’s interest and readiness.
Questions
Is Community Outreach the same as a training programme?
Not exactly. It is often the entry point that helps people understand and move toward deeper training opportunities.
Can schools request an outreach activation?
Yes. Ask through the organisation enquiry form or the Contact page.
What happens after an outreach session?
Participants may join the mailing list, ask questions, apply for training, or enter future programme pathways depending on readiness.
“The outreach event made the whole idea of digital skills feel concrete, not distant.”
White Lady A.Community participant“It helped our students understand that technology is not just something they consume. It is something they can build with.”
Mensah I.School partner“Outreach is where belief starts. Without it, a lot of learners would never take the first step.”
