“Talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t.”
Across the world, businesses are grappling with an unprecedented talent crunch. From Canadian tech startups scaling too fast to African hospitals struggling with staffing, to global enterprises fighting for top business talent—the numbers paint a worrying picture:
-
75% of employers worldwide say they can’t find the right people.
-
The tech sector alone risks 85 million jobs going unfilled by 2030—a staggering $8.5 trillion annual loss.
-
The WHO predicts a shortage of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030.
-
Even in business and operations, roles are going vacant longer than ever, slowing growth.
The problem isn’t a lack of talent—it’s a lack of access. And this is where Africa enters the conversation.
Africa is home to the world’s youngest, fastest-growing workforce. While much of the globe is aging, Africa’s talent pool is expanding—and it’s hungry for opportunity.
-
Tech talent: Over 716,000 developers already active, with millions more being trained through initiatives like Nigeria’s 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) program.
-
Healthcare workers: Trained doctors, nurses, and caregivers are available but under-employed locally—yet globally, hospitals and clinics are desperate.
-
Business professionals: From finance to operations to leadership, Africa’s business graduates are driving digital transformation across industries.
These professionals are skilled, adaptable, cost-effective, and remote-ready. All they need is a bridge to the employers who need them.
