To increase ACN’s impact in geographic areas and communities where it has historically had limited impact and demographic reach, ACN has evolved into a network of career networks by recruiting non-profit organisations (Affiliates) who are working to train and connect youth to career opportunities in Africa. These are exceptional partners strategically selected for their demonstrated commitment to youth empowerment and career readiness. They play a vital role in shaping the future of Africa.
