Ukarimu Academy

The Tourism & Hospitality sector has the potential to employ millions of young people on the African continent. It could provide youth with decent jobs and the opportunity to grow personally and professionally – but only if done right. Unfortunately, tourism & hospitality are often considered a last resort. Many young people working in the lower ranks of the sector, therefore do not consider it as a long-term career path. One of the factors that contribute to this situation is the lack of relevant and high-quality training opportunities across the continent that focus on practical skills that are relevant to the sector. Ukarimu was developed to solve exactly that problem: by making contextualized tourism & hospitality curricula freely accessible to anyone interested in training young Africans for a successful career in the sector. To date, 3 courses and over 25 modules have been developed with more yet to come! 🔶 Hospitality 🔶 Tour Guiding 🔶 Product Development Would you like to work with Ukarimu?
