ABOUT THE AFRICAN LEADERSHIP GROUP
By 2035, Africa will have the largest workforce in the world and will need to catalyze transformation by empowering its largest untapped resource – its youth. The African Leadership Group is an ecosystem of institutions with a shared vision to harness Africa’s abundant human capital and transform the continent and the world by selecting, developing, and connecting 2 million ethical and entrepreneurial leaders by 2030. Founded by Fred Swaniker, a 2019 TIME 100 Most Influential People honoree, the AL Group’s bold and innovative approach to leadership development has earned it recognition by Fast Company as the #1 Most Innovative Company in Africa and #39 on its list of the “50 Most Innovative Companies in the World”, alongside Alibaba (#15) and Apple (#17).
ALX and The Room are two brands of the African Leadership Group.
ALX is our training arm, focused on developing skills for the fourth industrial revolution – software engineering, data science, UX design, cyber security, etc. – to ensure that Africa is able to compete effectively as the world undergoes a digital transformation. To cement this, through our legal entity African Leadership International (ALI), we have acquired Silicon Valley-based Holberton Inc. – a project-based, college alternative educating the next generation of software engineers. This acquisition gives us ownership of the advanced technology program that will enable us to provide global organizations access to significant untapped pools of talent that can bridge the growing global shortage of technology talent.
The ROOM is our talent placement arm, a community that our young talent join to access a lifetime of extraordinary opportunities and meaningful relationships. It is also a marketplace platform that connects our highly skilled, rigorously vetted and trained tech talent with global companies, including our own tech solutions business.
