African Leadership College Fellowship

If you’re like most people we meet, the theory you learned throughout your educational journey probably hasn’t empowered you with the skills you need in the real world.

ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP

You’ve probably asked yourself what was useful, and what could have better prepared you for the world of work. You don’t have all the answers yet, but you have some ideas you’d like to try out. The ALU Fellowship is the first step to answering those questions and getting the skills you need to accelerate your career and help you get to the next level.

The ALU fellowship programme has been designed to empower recent graduates and young professionals just like you, with the skills you need to be an employable, high performing individual, in whatever role or field you choose. There are 7 meta skills we have identified as the best combination for creating rock stars, these are: Leading self, Engaging others, Entrepreneurial thinking, Managing complex tasks, Communicating for impact, Quantitative reasoning and most importantly, Critical thinking. The ALU fellowship will be a stepping stone to launch you into your professional career as a strong, resourceful leader.

FELLOWSHIP STRUCTURE
The Fellowship will kick off with a training programme that will happen for a duration of 3 months. During these three months you will engage with ALU’s unique learning model while exploring core skills such as, story telling, data contextualisation, work planning etc. When the 3 month training is complete fellows in training will have the opportunity to pursue opportunities in the 21 month Fellowship Programme, or take the skills they have learnt to pursue other career opportunities within and beyond ALU’s network.
