Event details
Everyone's talking about AI replacing jobs. Nobody's talking about the people who stay ahead of it — and how they got there.
AI is reshaping every industry in East Africa. But the professionals moving up aren't the ones who panicked. They're the ones who built real foundations: critical thinking, business context, and the ability to direct AI — not just use it. That requires structure. That requires a degree.
Join us on August 26 for a live conversation between Lydia Karingithi (Regional Director, Nexford Kenya Community) and Eric Muchogo (Country Matching Lead, BrighterMonday). Eric knows exactly what employers across East Africa are hiring for — he sees the job market in real time. Lydia knows exactly how to prepare you for it. Together, they'll break down why an undergraduate degree is one of the best ways to build pathways to new opportunities in the AI era. No doom-and-gloom. No generic advice. Just the real market reality and how to position yourself ahead of it.
Whether you're worried about AI displacement, exploring your first credential, or planning your next move, this session cuts through the noise and shows you the play.
