Youth Connect Tanzania (YCT)
Opportunity, membership & certification platform
The challenge
Opportunities for young Tanzanians were scattered across social media groups, with no verification, no membership record and no proof of completed training.
Connects Tanzanian youth with jobs, internships, scholarships, training and volunteering, with membership, payments, administration, coordination and certification built in.
Our role: Full platform engineering, payments and certification systems
Architecture decisions
One opportunity model, many types
Jobs, internships, scholarships, training and volunteering share a single schema with type-specific fields, so search and moderation stay simple.
Membership and payments in-flow
Mobile money and card payments attach directly to membership state, so access is granted the moment a payment clears.
Verifiable certificates
Each certificate is generated server-side with a unique verification code that any employer can check.
