Train Here.
Work Anywhere.
The Gate Project is Africa's most focused AI talent pipeline — a 6-week program that has placed 5 of its 6 graduates into real, paid roles at Western companies.
We Don't Just Train.
We Place.
The Gate Project was founded on one belief: African professionals are world-class talent. They just need the right skills, the right structure, and the right door. We build the door.
Our 6-week program teaches the exact tools Western companies are hiring for right now — AI automation, GEO, n8n workflows, and LinkedIn lead generation. Then we introduce our graduates to those companies directly.
AI Automation
n8n, Claude API, workflow engineering, chatbots, voice agents
GEO & AEO
Generative Engine Optimization and Answer Engine Optimization for AI-first search
LinkedIn Authority
Lead generation, profile optimization, outreach systems that convert
