Now, Cardtonic has announced the launch of something bigger and better—Upskill 3.0.
In this edition, Cardtonic is giving out a total of 20 brand-new M4 Pro MacBook laptops to 20 tech enthusiasts in Nigeria for free. What a time to be a techie in Nigeria!
This opportunity is available to all tech bros and tech sis who have been consistently grinding and building their tech skills despite all odds. Upskill 3.0 is giving them a chance to win a shiny, brand-new 2024 MacBook M4 laptop to elevate their tech journey.
Upskill’s Impact Over the Years
From the start, Upskill has been about giving young Nigerians a real shot at growth. Cardtonic launched the very first edition in 2022, and 15 ambitious tech enthusiasts received brand-new MacBook laptops to help them take their dreams further.
Things got even bigger with the second edition. This time, 20 techies walked away with free MacBook laptops, while 13 others received consolation prizes to keep their motivation high.
Some winners from the second edition even joined the Cardtonic team, turning their Upskill win into a new career opportunity.
Now, with Upskill 3.0, Cardtonic is building on everything they’ve started. This year brings even more chances for young tech talent: 20 MacBook M4 laptops, cash prizes, and the possibility of landing a job for those who truly stand out.
When you keep supporting your community, the impact only grows—and that’s exactly what Upskill has shown over the years.
