TALENT INCUBATOR FOUNDING ACTIVATOR
Tope OLOTU
As a first-generation Canadian immigrant and a graduate of the Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in Technology Management from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) Edmonton Canada, Tope’s story is a beacon of hope that lights the path of the organization.
Despite years of professional experience she had before immigrating to Canada, her career trajectory initially led her to an administrative role, validating the huge challenges faced by foreign-trained professionals in getting jobs in Canada, but her deep-seated passion for technology quickly set her on a different course. Within the organizations she worked for, she became a technological luminary, mastering website content development, email management systems, training platforms, data analysis, and enterprise resource planning software. Her expertise not only earned her a project management position with a substantial salary increase but also unveiled the transformative potential of technology education.
This revelation fueled Tope’s desire to share the gift of technology education with her community. She started teaching K-12 students what she knew, sowing the seeds of technology education. What began as her vision has blossomed into a thriving organization dedicated to providing training and mentorship to 100+ youth in 4 years, a vision now shared by other staff, volunteers, and Board members. The organization currently teaches Coding, Robotics, Web development, Cloud Technology, Machine Learning, Social Media Content Development/Management and Video Editing. We also teach Project Management, Business Analysis, Change Management, Vendor Management, Digital Storytelling, and other related career development courses to support our students in securing jobs in the Technology and Creativity space. This further led to the creation of this Talent Incubator Project, which connects students with the industry, providing opportunities for training, mentoring, internships and job placement. Tope and the team are excited for the impact these young Canadians and new immigrants are going to make in contributing to the workforce and to future innovation in our beautiful Country and around the world.
