The Rotech learning path
What makes us different
Other centers train you and say goodbye. At Rotech × PICE you choose your path after graduation, and we walk it with you.

Every trainee gets entrepreneurship training at no extra cost. When you're ready to launch, we give you a place to build.
Path 2 · Get hired
Prefer a job? We add you to the Rotech Employment Platform and work to find you a position with employers we already serve.
Learn a skill. Then build a business or get a job. Either way, you won't do it alone.
Start your pathAbout the center
Rotech started with a simple question: why do companies keep struggling with IT even when they already have computers, software, networks and IT staff?
Working with 123 organizations (embassies, NGOs, government institutions, and large and small private companies), we found that hardware and software problems can usually be fixed. Without people who have the right practical skills, though, the same problems keep coming back.
The Rotech × PICE Training Center closes that gap. It turns young Ethiopians and working professionals into job-ready digital talent through practical, industry-led training.
Provides the curriculum, trainers, technology platform and the employer pipeline, drawing on live managed-IT operations.
PICE
