OUR INITIATIVES

Four initiatives. One human capital transformation system.

Each initiative plays a distinct role in the same pipeline, from first skills training to long-term business growth. None of them stand alone.

WHAT WE RUN

The Four Initiatives

advance Africa Academy (AaFA)

Where skills training happens, trade, business fundamentals, and entrepreneurship readiness, tailored to the path each candidate is on.


  • Trade and vocational skills training
  • Business management and financial literacy
  • Job and business readiness coaching

Learn about the Academy

advance africa Network (aaFN)

Out web of employers, master craftspeople, and market connections, where Academy graduates find placement, apprenticeship, and customers.


  • Employer and apprenticeship placement
  • Mentorship from experienced practitioners
  • Market and customer access for new business

Learn about the Network

advance Africa Fund (AaFF)

Startup capital and financing support for candidates on the business path, because training without capital produces plans, not businesses.


  • Startup and equipment financing
  • Financial literacy and money management support
  • Ongoing financial guidance through year one and beyond

Learn about the Fund

advance AFRICA CONFERENCE (AaFC)

Our annual gathering for continuous learning, networking, and shared ideas, bringing candidates, graduates, and partners into the same room.


  • Annual Human Capital Transformation Conference
  • Peer networking among graduates and entrepreneurs
  • Partner and sponsor engagement

Learn about the Conference
