Turning qualifications into careers
Skills Factory, powered by AJA, is a Zimbabwean career platform. We make graduates and job seekers job-ready through training and certificates, connect them with each other and with employers, and do the slowest part for them: AI writes a tailored CV and cover letter and applies for jobs on their behalf.

Talent is everywhere. The path to work is not.
Tens of thousands of people finish university, polytechnic and college in Zimbabwe every year. Many leave with strong qualifications but without the practical skills, workplace exposure and professional connections employers ask for.
Job hunting itself is hard work. Adverts are scattered across websites, newspapers, noticeboards and social media. Every one wants a slightly different CV and letter, and the deadlines do not wait. Good candidates give up, or send the same generic CV everywhere and hear nothing back.
Experienced people face the same wall when they want to move up, change field or come back after a break.
Scattered adverts
We gather open jobs from employers and public adverts into one searchable place.
Generic CVs
We write a CV and cover letter for each advert, from your own facts.
No time to apply
We send applications for you, every day, while you study or work.
No connections
A professional network, events, messages and calls to meet people in your field and the employers hiring in it.
Our promise: we apply for you.
Tell us once what you are looking for. Every day Skills Factory finds jobs that fit you, writes a CV and cover letter for each one from your real profile, and sends the application to the employer for you. Approve each one yourself, or switch on auto-pilot and let it apply within your daily limit.

Our mission
To make sure every capable person in Zimbabwe has a fair, practical route into work, and keeps moving forward once they are there.
Honest by design
Your CV and letters use only what you told us. We never invent an employer, a date, a grade or a number.
You stay in control
Approve every application, or set clear rules for auto-pilot: daily limits, roles, towns and employers to skip.
Privacy first
Your details reach an employer only when you apply or choose to be seen. You can download or delete your data at any time.
Built for Zimbabwe
Local towns, local employers, EcoCash and OneMoney payments, and pages that work on an everyday phone.
Every stage of a career
School leavers, graduates, artisans, professionals and career changers. Not just this year's graduates.
Fair to employers
Verified organisations, consistent applications and no spam: auto-pilot only applies where you genuinely fit.
