Work with the institution building Africa's next generation of professionals
GearUp Africa partners with platforms, employers, and organisations who want more than a logo — we build working relationships with real value on both sides.
We don't do passive logos. Every partner has a clear value exchange — what you bring, what you get, and how we stay in touch.
Platforms & training providers
e.g. FestMan, Financial Edge, DataCamp
Provide content, certifications, or platform access to our analyst cohort. In return, get structured feedback, a live test audience, and university reach across Ghana and Nigeria.
What you get
Companies & organisations
e.g. client firms, professional services, startups
Offer project placements, internships, or real-world gig opportunities to GAP analysts. Get pre-screened, coached talent before they hit the open market.
What you get
Corporates & foundations
e.g. development banks, foundations, CSR teams
Support scholarships, programme operations, or specific cohort initiatives. We produce the impact data and storytelling content so your CSR team always has what it needs.
What you get
Partnerships fade when they become administrative. Here is how we keep ours active.
We schedule regular touchpoints — not just when there's a problem. You always know how your contribution is being used and what's working.
We collect usage data and analyst feedback on your behalf, and send you structured reports — so your CSR or marketing team always has content ready.
We publicly acknowledge what each partner provides — on the website, in newsletters, and at events. You are not just a logo on a wall.
At the end of each year we sit down, review what the partnership delivered, and agree what the next year looks like — for both sides.
