Gebeya, a leading Pan-African talent cloud company, has announced a strategic partnership with O’Reilly, a respected provider of technology and business learning solutions, to empower African professionals in the digital age.
This collaboration will grant users across Gebeya’s Talent Cloud platforms access to O’Reilly’s expansive library of over 5,000 tech-focused courses.
Developed by industry experts, these resources cover a wide range of in-demand skills, including data analytics, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and more.

“Our comprehensive learning solutions, offered in various formats like books, videos, and online courses, will equip African talent with the knowledge and expertise needed to thrive in the evolving tech landscape.”
Gebeya’s AI-powered talent cloud platform allows partners to curate talent ecosystems, source candidates, assess skills, and build communities.
This partnership empowers Talent Cloud owners to offer O’Reilly’s content at a reduced cost and in local currencies, expanding accessibility for African learners.
