About
Africa Is A Planet
Sustaining abundance through future-facing skills
Africa Is A Planet focuses on connecting youth to future-facing economic activities by addressing three interconnected needs.
- Skills
- Positioning
- Employability
1. Skills
We support young people to identify and develop practical, market-relevant capabilities aligned with sustainability-driven sectors such as renewable energy, mobility, circular economy, climate-smart food systems, and sustainability services.
The emphasis is on:
- applied knowledge,
- transferable skills,
- short learning pathways that lead to real opportunity.
2. Positioning
Employability depends not only on what young people know, but on how they articulate their relevance.
Africa Is A Planet helps youth to:
- understand the language and expectations of emerging industries,
- position existing skills within future value chains,
- move from general job seeking to intentional career pathways.
3. Employability
Future-facing opportunities are often accessed through exposure, networks, and early visibility.
Our platform creates:
- proximity between youth and industry stakeholders,
- informal pathways to internships, collaborations, and pilot opportunities,
- visibility through professional documentation and shared content.
This transforms employability from a passive process into an active ecosystem.
