ICYMI🎉: ReadyforWork, the immersive learning ecosystem powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, is now accepting applications for its sixth cohort.

Designed to integrate Africa’s youth into the global workforce, the program features open tracks in UX/UI, Finance, Digital Marketing, Data Analysis, and Disciplined Entrepreneurship. Global payments giant Visa joins as a content partner, adding industry expertise to the program.

We launched ReadyforWork in 2021 to give entry-level job seekers and early-career professionals the resources they need to enhance competitiveness and launch meaningful careers.

📍In late 2022, SFAN earned global recognition with a feature on New York Times Square by the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center as one of Africa’s most innovative brands addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Building on this milestone, SFAN partnered with Visa to integrate the company’s thought leadership into ReadyforWork, leading to the creation of the Disciplined Entrepreneurship (DE) track.

The DE track delivers seven core lessons on key topics like launching and scaling a business, managing finances, leveraging mobile banking, and understanding creditworthiness.

⚡️Our work with Readyforwork is encapsulated in this quote from GSV Ventures: "In a continent where only 17 million people have access to higher education, proving your skill is now more important to employers than university degrees."

Join ReadyforWork and take the next step toward a successful career in today’s global economy. Prospective candidates are encouraged to apply before January 16!
