Announcing TekZone Leadership Development Program

In Partnership with The African Leadership Bridge TekZone is launching a Leadership Development Program tailor-made for young Africans.

Program Overview

At TekZone, we believe that Africa will be lifted into the status of a world leader through its dynamic, innovative and entrepreneurial youth. This program is designed to help young Africans turn these qualities into tangible results. This is achieved through the following 3 steps:

• Step 1: set a SMART 2-year goal with measurable impact.
• Step 2: create a precise development plan with milestones and assign an experienced accountability mentor to help ensure we remain on track.
• Step 3: execute on the development plan through a variety of activities including courses, assignments, discussions, events, book groups and others. This includes the possibility of a 1-week trip to the USA for further development.
