In conversations with governments and philanthropists on helping more African children reach and surpass their fifth birthday, one principle stood out: philanthropy works best when aligned with government priorities.

@amali_tech @PeneThompson @actt_edu @ASU The conversation continues beyond the convening. From January 2027, Axum will launch a webinar series to turn these priorities into action and bring young people into the discussion. What skills will matter most for Africa’s youth?

#ElevateAfrica #SkillsThatLast

[Axum @AxumEarth]

Are we preparing Africa’s youth for tomorrow’s jobs, or training them for a world already changing? At @WeElevateAfrica in Accra, Axum explored this through a session on skills and youth-to-work pathways in the age of AI.

[Axum @AxumEarth]

@amali_tech @PeneThompson @actt_edu @ASU Three priorities stood out: practical AI skills that match workplace needs; removing barriers to young people entering work; and measuring employment outcomes, not just training completion.

At Skills That Last: Building Youth-to-Work Pathways in the Age of AI, Sylvia will bring her experience in building the pathways and ecosystems young people need to thrive, particularly as AI reshapes the future of work.
