Africa Career Networks

Join Us in Dakar for the Africa Career Networks Regional Leadership Summit in Partnership with University Gaston Berger! Africa’s youth represent an unparalleled economic opportunity, with over 60% of the continent's 1.4 billion people under the age of 25. By 2050, this vibrant demographic will double, creating the world’s largest working-age population by 2030. But alongside this immense promise lies a pressing challenge—youth unemployment and a growing skills-market mismatch that threatens to hinder the potential for transformative growth.    This is where you come in.    We are excited to invite you to the Africa Career Networks Regional Leadership & Career Impact Summit in Dakar, Senegal, on 11 February 2025. This event will convene government, business, academic institution leaders, HR and career development executives, labour specialists and other key stakeholders to tackle one of Africa’s most urgent priorities: youth employability and economic inclusion.    Why Attend?  Be Part of the Solution: Collaborate on bold, innovative strategies to bridge the gap between education and employment.  Engage in High-Impact Discussions: Participate in thought-provoking discussions, sharing real-world insights.  Explore Emerging Opportunities: Gain insights into sectors poised for growth and discover how partnerships can fuel Africa’s economic transformation.  Network with Change-Makers: Build connections with leaders shaping Africa’s future workforce and economic trajectory.    Together, We Can Act: Unlocking the potential of Africa's youth workforce isn’t just a vision—it’s an economic imperative! If we align our efforts and resources, we could unlock up to $500 billion annually in global GDP by 2040 while empowering an entire generation to thrive.    Save the Date:  City: Dakar, Senegal  Date: 11 February 2025  Time: 08:30 – 14:00  RSVP: https://lnkd.in/dEb9ywwV    Space is limited! Let’s work together to foster meaningful change and build the partnerships that will shape the future of Africa’s workforce.

Hello!, LinkedIn community I am pleased to share that I successfully completed the Bloomberg Finance Fundamentals (BFF) Certificate Course in October, which was thoughtfully designed by Bloomberg and generously sponsored by Africa Career Networks. This experience served not only as a valuable reflection of the knowledge I gained during my undergraduate studies, especially in finance and investment but also provided insight into various financial fraud schemes, such as Ponzi and Pyramid schemes, that are present in the sector. I extend my sincere gratitude to Africa Africa Career Networks and the entire team, particularly Tinyiko Nyathi, for this wonderful opportunity and their invaluable guidance. I eagerly anticipate future opportunities for growth and collaboration. Thank you.
