Where training
meets income.
Hire Emmie didn't start with a business plan. It started with a gap we kept seeing — skilled African women with no pathway to the income they deserved. This is the story of how we decided to close it.
Born from Techy Train
Incubator Foundation.
"We kept training women and watching them graduate with skills and nowhere to use them. That was the problem we had to solve."
In 2019, we founded Techy Train Incubator Foundation with one belief — that African women had everything it took to compete in the global digital economy. They just needed the right skills and the right doors opened.
Six years later, we've trained over 10,000 women across 35+ countries. Women who completed our programmes were skilled, motivated, and ready. But the world wasn't always ready to find them.
Hire Emmie was our answer to that. Not just a hiring platform — a trust infrastructure. A system designed to make these women visible, verifiable, and hireable to global employers who needed exactly what they had to offer.
Training without
income is incomplete.
Across Africa, thousands of women finish digital skills training every year and hit the same wall. The skills are there. The work ethic is there. The gap is the bridge to a global employer who trusts them.
Our mission in three words.
Every talent on Hire Emmie has been assessed for skills, reviewed for reliability, and cleared through our vetting process. You never meet an unverified candidate.
We bridge the gap between exceptional African women professionals and global employers who are ready — and willing — to build cross-border remote teams.
We don't disappear after placement. Structured contracts, check-in systems, and a human accountability layer keep the relationship strong on both sides.
Six years of
building trust.
We launched with a simple but bold belief — that African women could compete in the global digital economy. Our first cohort of women began digital skills training.
Techy Train was formally registered as an organisation. By this point, we had reached women across 35+ countries. The gap between training and income became undeniable.
We launched Hire Emmie as the employment bridge — connecting our trained, vetted talent directly to global remote employers. The missing last mile was finally built.
Our founding pilot onboarded 10 employers, moved 20+ talents through the hiring pipeline, and built a pool of 100+ verified talents ready for placement.
We're scaling. The trust infrastructure is in place. The talent pipeline is live. We're now ready to connect global employers to Africa's most verified remote professionals.
Small numbers.
Real proof.
We're proud to be in our pilot stage. Every number here is real — earned through the hard work of building something that actually works.

The people behind
the mission.

Blessing manages the day-to-day operations of Hire Emmie, ensuring every employer engagement and talent placement runs smoothly, on time, and to the standard our mission demands.
The values we
build everything on.
We don't ask employers to take our word for it. Every claim we make about our talent is backed by a process, a record, and a human being who stands behind it.
We don't position our talent as affordable alternatives. We position them as exceptional professionals who happen to be based in Africa.
A hire is not a handoff. We remain invested in the relationship long after the contract is signed — because sustainable income for women requires sustained relationships.
Hire Emmie and Techy Train are not separate organisations doing separate things. They are two parts of one answer to one question: how do we get African women to sustainable income?

we're building?
