Hi all,<br><br>For those who are interested in improving their ability to develop for mobile phones, or have been interested in the <a href="http://eprom.mit.edu/">EPROM</a> program at University of Nairobi, this may be worth checking out.<br>

<br>Emobilis is a training facility starting this May focusing on empowering individuals with baseline and advanced skills required to thrive in mobile &amp; wireless technology industry in East Africa. It is aimed squarely at students, developers, and those currently in the industry.  <br>

<br>Emobilis will offer modules in a variety of focus areas:<br><br>* Mobile &amp; wireless technology practice (basic &amp; advanced)<br>* MIT/Nokia joint EPROM program - Mobile App development (curriculum developed by MIT professor Nathan Eagle)<br>


* GSM for customer care executives<br><br>Pass by, speak to the tutors, register for a module (you don&#39;t have to register for an entire semester). It is a new training academy, and could use feedback from the developer community.  Also kindly circulate to friends / colleagues outside of this list who can likely take advantage of registering for the first round of admissions.  <br>

principals well, and I&#39;m trying to support their growth; I believe their efforts are a validation of the emerging strength/opportunity of
Nairobi as a &quot;homebrew&quot; software development hub.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Denis.<br>--<br>Denis Gikunda<br>Project Manager, Google<br><br>
