Deadline: 28-Feb-22
Applications are invited for ALX’s Young Entrepreneurs Programme (YEP) to support entrepreneurs who want to innovate in ways that will help their businesses thrive.
The ALX Young Entrepreneurs Programme (YEP) is a 4-Week Sprint designed and taught by experienced entrepreneurs. Learn from those that have come before you and leave with a solid foundation from which you will refine, shape, and expand your business.
Providing entrepreneurs with the know-how to move their companies to a new stage of growth is one more way they prove their commitment to creating 2M new opportunities for rising African talent across the continent by 2030.
Africa is home to some of the world’s most forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Young Africans are proving that no matter the idea, or how simple a solution, they are creating impactful change in the lives of others in communities around the globe.
Gain the skills, mentors, and community you need to take your business to the next stage. Designed for early-stage entrepreneurs who have demonstrated their commitment to building their business but require the tools and accountability to level-up and start acquiring customers.
ALX has created an unrivaled opportunity to prepare, launch, and grow careers. Through their best-in-class training, and their commitment to lifelong learning, they offer in-demand programmes in digital transformation, business intelligence and support, and entrepreneurship. ALX is brought to you by the organisation that leads African Leadership Academy, African Leadership University, and Anzisha Prize Foundation.
