“I had no idea what engineering truly was until I reached the African Leadership Academy, they helped me in many ways than one.”
The Chevron-sponsored African Leadership Academy Engineering Leadership Program (ALA ELP) is designed for highly motivated and talented high school students aged 15 to 18 who are interested in a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
The program seeks to develop future African engineers equipped with leadership skills to lead a change on the continent.
For the past three years, the program has drawn participants from all over the African continent with its curriculum, which is designed to provide these young leaders of tomorrow with the tools and techniques they need to become more effective changemakers, as well as to inspire them to discover and apply solutions.
