Deutsch Connect successfully hosts German Day in Zim
German based Afrocentric Startup Deutsch Connect yesterday successfully held its first German Day in partnership with BancABC Zimbabwe (Ignition Hub), Jacobs University Bremen and Ehost Technologies. The event presented opportunities available for Zimbabwean Youths in Germany and shared testimonials from fellow Zimbabweans that have walked a similar journey.
Young Zimbabwean Engineer Tammy Siyakurima travelled from Germany to be the Keynote Speaker as she spoke of her own experience learning and working in Germany as well as her role as Ambassador for Jacobs University.
Deutsch Connect Head of Languages and Placements, Malven Mambo also presented from Germany on how young Zimbabweans could enroll in German language courses through Deutsch Connect and the job opportunities available in Germany. Ezra Makaza the Deutsch Connect representative in Zimbabwe also highlighted their new state of the art school to be opened in Bulawayo as well as increasing physical classes across Zimbabwe and their partnership to teach German in Zimbabwean schools.
Lastly the over-subscribed event ended on a great note for two young Zimbabweans Rudo Chatsama and Augustine Chirume who were each awarded Scholarships worth 1000us dollars each to learn the German language B1 through Deutsch Connect by Deutsch Connect Founder Kumbirai Chipadza.
Chipadza thanked their partners BancABC for providing the perfect venue and was overwhelmed by the huge turnout as over 80people attended the event under their #Smartmigration programme.
