This experience also shapes the way we work: high quality standards, structured delivery, and long-term partnerships.Clients:
The Gym is our local partner for talent development in Kigali. Together, we identify, develop, and support software developers as they transition into international engineering projects. This creates long-term opportunities for talent while ensuring the highest quality standards for our clients.
Ojemba is a kind of "educational traveler". The term comes from the Igbo language. It is composed of two basic words: oje - the one who goes, and mba - nations, countries. Thus, it refers to someone who travels to exotic, distant lands, a traveler. Igbo is spoken mainly in southeastern Nigeria, the homeland of one of our founders, Hugo Obi.
After taking a closer look at some locations, Rwanda seemed to be the best fit for the founders*. Rwanda is a small and safe country. It has a clear strategy to create wealth through education and digitalization. It is the African country with the best Transparency International Index.
The Ojembees are looking forward to every visit from Europe and to a real exchange of experiences. A visit is possible at any time by arrangement - but at your own expense.
Our Ojembees go through a six-month training program in which they are taught not only technical hard skills but also soft skills necessary for the project. Within this curriculum there are several hurdles that guarantee that only the best and most motivated employees start at Ojemba. Through this intensive time we ensure that a real collaboration in mixed teams is created and that tasks are not simply "thrown over the fence".
As soon as our concept is established in Kigali, we will also offer it in other countries south of the Sahara. South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria are currently on the watch list as Anglophone countries.
Short-term stays of team members in Germany for meetings or events are possible, but tend to be the exception due to entry and work regulations.
All ojembees are employed on permanent contracts. They receive a comparatively very good monthly salary and have better social security than the average.
Currently Ojemba offers frontend and backend development according to German software engineering standards. For digital design, testing, security, etc. we work with German and Rwandan partners.
Our Ojembees are ambitious young developers eager to learn. Ojemba provides them with further training on new tech stacks as their careers progress. We also develop custom trainings on demand of our clients.
As for other countries outside the EU, there are GDPR-compliant "best practices" based on the EU's standard contractual clauses and an individual assessment of the project.
The contractual partner is always a German GmbH - either Ojemba GmbH (Hamburg) or MaibornWolff GmbH (Munich). Therefore, there are no uncertainties due to an unknown legal system.
