Hi! We’re so happy that you’re here.

Think-it is an engineering collective on a mission to unlock human potential through technology. We identify and accelerate North Africa’s future technology leaders — before integrating them as full-time distributed team members with innovative partners around the world.

Backed by mission-aligned partners, we bridge the gap between high-skill talent supply and demand through a unique approach combining agile learning methodologies and state-of-the-art distributed collaboration — with the goal of putting North Africa on the map as a digital innovation hub with highly-qualified and affordable technical talent.

Founded in 2017 with a team representing 9 nationalities and 40% women, we are enthusiastically committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and equality within our own team, our partner teams, and our investor networks.

Jointly with our partners, we aim to set up Think-it’s Open Learning Community (OLC), which will be accessible for hundreds of learners across North Africa who pass entry-level testing in algorithmic thinking and problem-solving. The Think-it Open Learning Community will serve as a platform for learners to discover and showcase both technical and behavioral skills they possess and perform as part of a wider network of engineers in the region. The objective is to bring together learners, beginners and intermediate, and provide access to a selection of learning modules through a blended learning approach. Young talented developers, who are currently prevented from accessing high-value blended learning opportunities, will be granted a job-focused learning pipeline with the possibility of immediate job placement at Think-it. In addition, the "Think-it Pop Up Garage" at our Tunisia HQ will serve as a portal to Tunis' student and youth communities. It will host workshops, bring in speakers and contribute to blending open sources online learning content with a physical dedicated open to all freely registered members of the OLC. The Think-it Pop Up garage will expose individuals to  cutting-edge technologies as part of Think-it's domain focus (incl. future of work/ learning tool such as VR/AR and hologram applications).

The Learning & Development Intern will focus on the activities surrounding the launch of the OLC and Think-it Pop Up garage this summer 2019. In addition, the intern will receive an extensive, yet high-level, immersion into the technological and non-technical contents (Machine Learning/ AI, DevOps & Cloud Services, Advanced Web Dev like Dash board developments) as part of Think-it's learning curriculum to develop stakeholder relationships and build new partnerships regionally and internationally.
