Sponsor a young

professional

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not. Many capable young Nigerians cannot pay for the training that would get them their first job or their next promotion. Your sponsorship pays for that training at Global Analyst Academy, and we report back on how each learner did.

Open to foundations, companies, faith groups, alumni and individuals, in Nigeria and abroad.

Why it matters

Skills are the gap between a degree and a job

Every year, capable graduates leave school without the practical skills employers ask for. Employers, meanwhile, struggle to find analysts, project managers and people who can work with data and AI. The training that closes this gap exists, but its cost puts it out of reach for many young people.

A sponsorship changes that for one person or for a whole group. You fund the training. We find the learners, teach and support them, and tell you how they did.

Why GAA

Practical training with a track record

Global Analyst Academy has trained more than 1,250 professionals since 2017, through programmes endorsed by global certification providers. Our classes are built on cases, projects and assessed work, so learners finish with skills they can show an employer.

Through Hire Our Talent, we also introduce strong graduates to employers, so your sponsorship can lead to a job, not just a certificate.
