Blockchain Hub Africa Partners with Buildspace

Blockchain Hub Africa Partners with <a href="https://buildspace.so/">BuildSpace</a>, one of the world's largest networks of web3 builders to train web3 Talents in Africa.
The evolution of technology brought about Blockchain, driving a decentralized community and a new financial system where users do not have the barrier of a central authority. Global adoption of this new goodness in technology is on the rise, and Africa will not be left to lag. To further drive the adoption of blockchain in Africa, Blockchain Hub Africa has partnered with Buildspace to develop more builders of the technology in the web3 space in Africa.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Africa has been a technology consumer over time and contributes less to developing technologies. The widespread use of Blockchain technology has created a strong need for talent to help scale the technology and create more use-cases. At <a href="https://blockchainhub.africa/">Blockchain Hub Africa</a>, the adoption of blockchain in Africa and building the web3 talent pipeline is our core drive.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<a href="https://buildspace.so/">Buildspace</a> is a learning platform for developers looking to transition into the web3 space. Build space is one of the world's largest networks of web3 builders, with over 50,000 developers onboarded.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
With a growing web3 community, <a href="https://blockchainhub.africa/">Blockchain Hub Africa</a> is on the move to build a solid web3 talent pipeline, bridge the gap between transitioning from web2 into the web3 space, and foster blockchain adoption in Africa. This is why Blockchain Hub Africa is partnering with Buildspace to run a 3-month Web3 Development Learning Program.
&nbsp;
<h2>What is the Web3 Development Learning Program?&nbsp;</h2>
&nbsp;
The Web3 Development Learning Program is a 3-month annual program that aims at providing a learning ground for web2 developers and help transition them into web3 and expose them to opportunities in the space.&nbsp;
The learning program will include mentorship sessions, incentives, NFTs, and web3 job placements for top talents from the program.&nbsp;
The application period begins on Thursday, April 21th, and concludes on Monday, May 9th, 2022.

Blockchain Hub Africa Partners with Buildspace, to Train Web3 Talents in Africa

The outburst of crypto projects all over the world has caused a global <a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/101blockchains.com/demand-for-blockchain-skills/amp/">call</a> for talent to fill in the gap. Organizations including <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/faang-stocks.asp#:~:text=Key%20Takeaways,(formerly%20known%20as%20Google).">FAANGS</a> have shown interest in the professionals they need to fill up that space.
&nbsp;
From <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/amp/content/25504559">Microsoft</a>, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/07/23/amazon-is-hiring-a-digital-currency-and-blockchain-expert.html">Amazon</a> to <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/26/apple-hiring-cryptocurrency-job/amp/">Apple</a> and allegedly <a href="https://thenextweb.com/news/facebook-cryptocurrency-blockchain-bitcoin-jobs/amp">Facebook</a>, the numbers are going higher. Other brands are not left out&hellip; a look into <a href="https://cryptocurrencyjobs.co/">cryptocurrencyjobs</a>, <a href="https://crypto.jobs/">cryptojobs</a>, and <a href="https://cryptojobslist.com/">cryptojobslist</a> reveals this more. However, there are two major challenges affecting this demand: lack of available talent and exposure to the roadmap on entering the Web3 space.
&nbsp;
In this post, we'll share with you how to transit into the Web3 space from Web2. Note: it doesn't mean Web2 will not be relevant anymore.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/blockchainhub-africa/image/upload/v1647705067/Company-website/web-20-vs-web-30-difference-feature_dqwcv0.jpg" alt="web2-to-web3" width="1680" height="840" />
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h2>Learn and Understand Web3</h2>
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
There are similarities as well as differences between Web1, Web2, and Web3. Being exposed to the difference is what gives the edge. For example, Wallets in Web3 are replacing the normal password signup process in Web2. In Web3, there's a focus on ownership as well as earning in a decentralized manner.
&nbsp;
NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, DEXs, Swap options, and now, the reign of metaverse are some of the trends in web3 that aren't in Web2. For developers, Solidity, Rust, and Substrate are the new ways of communicating.
&nbsp;
If you love community, understanding how Telegram, Twitter, and Discord work becomes a necessity. You can start your learning process on any of these platforms: <a href="https://www.edx.org/course/blockchain-understanding-its-uses-and-implications?index=product&amp;queryID=000a8bfce5d20e46899a815534b7ce58&amp;position=3">edX</a>, <a href="https://simpli-web.app.link/e/2l3TKNpEuob">Simplilearn</a>, <a href="https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=cryptocurrency%20and%20blockchain">Coursera</a>, <a href="https://academy.binance.com/en">Binance Academy</a>, and <a href="https://www.udacity.com/course/blockchain-developer-nanodegree--nd1309">Udacity</a>.
&nbsp;
Learning about Web3 starts with understanding what blockchain is about, the use cases, its advantages, limitations&hellip; the basics of the technology, and then you can further into specific skills.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h2>Match Your Skill to Web3</h2>
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
There are two ways this is applicable: those who have skills that can be used in the Web3 space and those who need to learn new skills relevant in the Web3 space.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
For instance, if you're a programmer, in the Web2 space, and good with Python, Java, or C++, you can easily transition to the blockchain environment as a developer. All you need to do is practice more with Solidity or any other language.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The same thing applies to content creators in Web2. SEO, research, and other content creation processes are still needed. The addition here will be how does blockchain work?
&nbsp;
The second scenario can be with a person without any skill related to either Web2 or Web3. Such a person will need to learn about blockchain first and then decide on the skills to master. The skill learned will help to provide value to Web3 firms by solving problems.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h2>Leverage Web3 Communities</h2>
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
One of the most unique features of Web3 is that it's <a href="https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/there-is-no-community-quite-like-the-web3-community-heres-how-to-make-the-most-of-it">community-centric</a>. It thrives on community - from product launch to sustaining market influence to dominance. Once you have chosen the focus of your skill, you can search for communities where people of like minds and similar skill sets are present. Join in, connect ad keep the learning drive on.
&nbsp;
Communities will not just help you learn, job opportunities for companies and projects are also easily accessed via community engagements. The circle is complete with a food community - connect, learn, and earn.
&nbsp;
Examples of such communities are <a href="https://dev.to/t/web3">dev</a>, for developers; <a href="https://web3ladies.com/">web3ladies</a>, for ladies in Web3; <a href="https://blockchain.ieee.org/communities">IEEE Blockchain</a>; and then for each project like <a href="https://ethereum.org/en/community/">Ethereum</a>, <a href="https://solana.com/community">Solana</a>, <a href="https://docs.harmony.one/home/general/community">Harmony One</a>, <a href="https://community.algorand.org/">Algorand</a>&hellip; there are communities built around them to further the vision of blockchain technology and that of the pioneering organizations.
&nbsp;
In conclusion, Web3 is still untapped and the demand for talent is high. The returns, flexibility, and opportunities in the industry are great. You might want to consider coming in as quickly as possible. If you have the right skills already, you can check out <a href="http://jsiekierski.com/crypto-job-sites/">jobs</a>, and if you need to get the right skills, look up the organizations shared above.

Transitioning from Web2 to Web3.
