Skills4afrika is not only a one-time recruitment event but in addition we want to upskill professionals, public institutions, graduates by redefining education, empowering youth and closing the skills gap through a combination of partnerships, trainings, real-world experiences and online classrooms. We want to empower our graduates in STEM by training and mentoring them. Our professionals in the private industry and in the public sector through training and capacity building.

Universities, Public institutions will make contact with mentors online through a registration form, where they will receive an interactive and reflective bespoke consultation before starting the training and mentoring journey.
