A Future-Ready Africa
Through Quality Career Development
The Career Readiness Gap in Africa
Short, structured career guidance and future-skills alignment are still uneven in learning institutions across the African continent. CEI is building a scalable quality approach that schools and systems can adopt.
70%
of learners in African secondary schools complete their education without structured, professional career guidance, limiting informed subject choices, transitions, and long-term career planning.
Limited Career Guidance
80%
of African schools report gaps between what learners study and the skills required for further education, training, and modern workplaces.
Curriculum Skill Gaps
65%
of African employers report difficulty finding young people with relevant skills, work readiness, and career awareness for critical roles.
Shortage of Skilled Youth
60%
of African countries experience specialist shortages, exposing deep weaknesses in skills pipelines, workforce planning, and career development systems.
