Human Capital Development in Africa

We support governments, the private sector, NGOs and development partners in making the right, long-term investments in education and skills.

How we help governments

Driving Human Capital Development

Public-private partnerships have the power to create a significant, positive impact on human capital development, central to Africa's economic competitiveness and transformation in the twenty-first century.

The continent's young people are its greatest resource and the key to prosperity in a globalized and digitized economy. By 2030, some 375 million young people will enter the job market in Africa.

We support governments, the private sector, NGOs and development partners in making the right, long-term investments in education and skills.

As practical learning experts, we co-create programs for young people and employees of all levels and sectors to develop the critical skills, attitudes and behaviours they need to succeed in the fast-changing new world of work.

We believe language, entrepreneurship, management and leadership training can help create opportunities for individuals, companies, and countries. We are committed to building a more prosperous future for all.

We help governments to:

Customize language programs to achieve national objectives, including professional and industry-specific language skills for global fluency

Assess and track the language proficiency of large target groups

Improve students' education by elevating teacher training

Build entrepreneurial, managerial and leadership skills across all levels and sectors

Co-create customized learning solutions to tackle specific strategic challenges contextualized to local needs

Language training solutions

We start with what your organization wants to achieve and how improving language skills will help. We will work with you to design a language program that generates results. Guaranteed.

As a trusted global organization, we have worked with many governments across all sectors to remove cultural and communication barriers and increase economic competitiveness, cross-border collaboration, and innovation.

Teacher training academy

Knowledgeable teachers are the cornerstone of any educational system. Our Teacher Training Academy gives teachers a solid foundation in language skills and methodology, improving the quality of learning across your country's classrooms.

Empowered and enthusiastic teachers lead to better student results. Teachers graduate with efficient lesson planning and teaching skills, an understanding of pedagogical best practices and a connection with a community of educators around the world.

Entrepreneurship training

Entrepreneurship is one of the key drivers in reducing poverty, promoting social change, and fostering innovation and economic transformation.

In collaboration with the UN, our affiliate, Hult Prize Foundation, has built a global entrepreneurial ecosystem. The Hult Prize has brought entrepreneurial training, impact education and hands-on start-up guidance through incubators, accelerators and mentorship networks to over two million youth in 121 countries.

Business, management & leadership development

We make it easy to upskill employees at every level. A rapidly changing world has led to an equally dramatic shift in the skillsets required of every business person, whatever their level or industry.

The fundamental skills needed today are those that cannot be automated and, instead, rely on and enhance human connections to help lead and inspire others, manage change, support sustainable business growth, and propel innovation.

Customized solutions

Complex challenges require simple but customized solutions - contextualized to a country's vision, road map and strategic objectives. Our work is rooted in co-creation and client inquiry. We invest in long-term partnerships to design solutions that relate to real challenges and have a meaningful, measurable impact.
