What Keeps Us Up At Night

We are awake because a student in Africa acquiring secondary education may never go to college and is neither adequately prepared for the real world.

What Keeps Us Up At Night

We are awake because a student in Africa acquiring secondary education may never go to college and is neither adequately prepared for the real world.

Ninety-eight (98%) percent of young people enrol at the primary level in Sub-Saharan Africa, but nine percent make it to college and only six percent graduate.

Traditionally, a college degree, formal tertiary education or essential hard skills are required to obtain a job. With only a few young people meeting these criteria, Africa struggles with high youth unemployment, underemployment, or vulnerable employment, negatively impacting creativity and innovation, personal financial stability, and the continent’s economy.

In Liberia, 65 percent of young women and 35 percent of young men 15-24-year-old remain illiterate. Africa will have the largest working-age population by 2034. Harnessing this potential demographic dividend will bring prosperity to the continent. However, it requires intentional education and entrepreneurial development efforts to prepare and transition these young people into the workforce while creating new market opportunities for employment and economic mobility.

Typically, high schools are designed to transition young people to college, with limited to no preparations for the real world or the workforce. Unfortunately, many graduates go directly into the workforce with limited exposure, skills and access.

TRIBE is on a mission to reimagine secondary education as a transition point to the workforce by integrating entrepreneurship education as a core curriculum and building and strengthening an entrepreneurial ecosystem that nurtures and prepares young people with the ideas, skills, and access to thrive in the uncertain future of work.
