“Coming to ALC has really opened me up to many opportunities. I've engaged with executives from Silicon Valley, Hong Kong, France, and all over. I've been able to reinforce the connections that I had and even build more relationships with people in Africa and the rest of the world.”

“I am growing to embody the 21st-century skills of entrepreneurial thinking and managing complex tasks. I’ve had the opportunity to co-run a venture with another student, where we have developed business plans, marketing strategies, and have applied human-centred design.”

“Over the course of my studies at ALC, I worked in 5 different industries across 6 countries in Europe, North America, and Africa and interned in companies like Facebook (Meta), Bank of America & Sanofi. I also founded multiple clubs and societies such as The ALU Editorial, ALU’s official student-run online publication. Through these various activities, I am on a mission to transform the community around me, making it more inclusive for everyone’s story to be heard.”

“At ALC, the focus on real-world internships and hands-on experiences has been truly transformative for me. These experiences have been like a personalized preparation kit for the modern job market. It is more than just learning from a textbook; it is about immersing myself in the real world of my chosen field. Internships have given me a backstage pass to how things truly operate. They're not just checkboxes on a resume; they're those 'aha' moments that have shaped my thinking and problem-solving skills.”

“My time at ALC has instilled not only world-class skills and technical knowledge, but also provided me with incredible real-world experiences, from connecting with ALC’s global network of visiting experts to participating in masterclasses with the brightest business minds in Africa. I have also had the chance to collaborate with peers from across the continent, and learn from their dedication, resilience, and ingenuity. As the next chapter in my journey begins, I would like to thank my teachers, mentors, and friends at ALC who have given me the support needed to pursue my dreams.”

"I appreciate the fact that my son has peers from all over Africa at ALU, which has opened his eyes to the continent and created a network for him. Now he better understands the socio-economic status of Africa and can see opportunities within Africa that he can tap into. More importantly, his network has given him hope that within Africa there are opportunities; that he has a role to play in Africa and doesn't need to go outside of Africa to be the best of himself."
