Practical coaching for youth on digital literacy, online work, AI tools and entrepreneurship.
Hello, I am
Biruk Belete
Digital skills coach · IT systems · Youth empowerment
I help young people in Ethiopia turn digital skills, AI tools and data literacy into real opportunities.
About me
I am an Instant Network School (DIY) Coach at Amref Health Africa, where I run a youth digital centre at Atse Zereyakob Youth Center in Debre Berhan. I hold an MBA and a BSc in Computer Science, and my background combines IT systems with digital marketing.
I like building practical things: bilingual websites with their own content management, AI-assisted content for children in an Ethiopian context, and training programmes that leave young people able to work, learn and earn online.
