Project Overview:Majority of youth in Africa do not have stable economic opportunities. Of Africa’s nearly 420 million youth aged 15-35, one-third are unemployed and disenfranchised, another third is vulnerably employed, and only one in six is in wage employment. In response to this need, The British Council has developed and designed the Innovation for African Universities (IAU) project, part of the Going Global Partnerships programme, to foster the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within universities. The programme further aims to facilitate the development of skills required to build industries, companies, products and services. The IAU project is designed to support the development of Africa – UK University Partnerships that build institutional capacity for Higher Education (HE) engagement in entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems in selected African countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Ghana).The overarching programme objective is to strengthen the capacity of Universities and increase their capability to participate and provide meaningful contributions as key players within the entrepreneurship ecosystem. The desired results and impact from the partnerships include a strengthened entrepreneurship ecosystem and improved support for young people seeking to develop job creation entities and sustainable enterprises.My Role:My role is to guide the team and work with a variety of South African HE institutions and with fellow network partners - such as Strathmore University (Kenya), University of Ghana, Sustainable Travel and Tourism Agenda (Kenya) and University of Brighton (United Kingdom) – to ensure that the key objectives of the IAU programme are met.

I worked in the Client Services division within JWT and worked on the Nestle Chocolate and Nestle Ice Cream accounts. Within my first year of working, during the period of 1st of June to 30th of July 2010, I was provided with the opportunity to prove my worth to JWT by managing the various campaigns happening simultaneously on both the Nestle Chocolate and Ice Cream accounts, all in the absence of an Account Manager and Account Director. When this period was complete I was nominated for the JWT “Walter Award” (which is an internal award that is given to the outstanding employee of the month) and in October 2010 I finally won the Walter award.

During my 3rd year at the AAA school of advertising (2009) I also volunteered to work at an advertising agency called Zanusi Branding Solutions. Under the leadership of Madeleine Wickins, I was provided the opportunity to facilitate the logistics of the Arts Alive events(Joy of Jazz etc).

I was responsible for organising presentations to agencies such as: OMD (Benmore gardens), B&C group (Kensington), The Mediashop (Morning side) and Youth Dynamix (Rivonia). David Shmuckler and I presented to these companies about the benefits of Loxion Media as an advertising medium. I was 18 at and a 2nd year at the AAA school of advertising at the time and this experience developed my presentation and my strategic skills. I would Like to thank David Schmuckler for providing me with this opportunity and mentoring me through this period of time.
