Youth Workforce Development · Cameroon

We give young Cameroonians the skills, experience and mentors employers look for.

The gap

Young Cameroonians are finishing school without a clear path to meaningful and dignified work.

How we close it

We help them build the transferable skills, experience and connections that lead to meaningful, dignified work.

  • Skills school doesn't teachExperiential learning

Our programmes

The fellowship helped me understand how to position myself, communicate my ideas and pursue opportunities with greater clarity. I left with skills I could use immediately and a network I could continue learning from.

2022 Fellow

When I joined, I knew I wanted to pursue opportunities but did not know how to position myself. Through the fellowship, I strengthened my communication, built professional relationships and became more intentional about the opportunities I pursued.
