About
Impact Axis
Across Africa and emerging economies, education systems produce graduates who struggle to find meaningful work. Employers report skills gaps while young people feel unprepared.
​
Impact Axis exists to close this gap by redesigning how talent is developed, connected, and deployed across systems.
​
We are a talent and employability systems builder which designs and implements structured interventions that help young people develop the skills, mindset, and capabilities required to succeed in a changing economy.
​
We operate at the intersection of education, systems design, workforce development, and innovation. Our work serves young people, universities and learning institutions, employers seeking talent pipelines, and ecosystem builders designing interventions at scale.
Learn by Doing
We believe that capabilities are developed through structured experience, deliberate practice, and reflective iteration.
Our
Philosophy
Our programs are designed around experiential learning principles. Participants engage with real challenges, develop solutions, receive feedback, and iterate. This approach builds not just knowledge, but judgment, adaptability, and the confidence to navigate uncertainty.
​
We work with institutions to embed these principles into their own systems and processes, creating sustainable capacity for talent development that extends far beyond any single program.
Our Values
The principles that guide our work
We address root causes, not symptoms. Our interventions are designed to create lasting structural change in how talent is developed and deployed.
Systems Thinking
We believe in African-led solutions to African challenges. Our work is rooted in local context while maintaining global relevance.
African Agency
Every program, framework, and tool we design is grounded in evidence and refined through iteration. We measure what matters.
Rigor & Intention
We prepare people for economies that are still emerging. Our programs anticipate change and build adaptive capacity.
Future Orientation
Our
Mission
To build talent and employability systems that enable young people to create value in a changing economy.
We do this by designing experiential learning programs, developing capability frameworks, and partnering with institutions to strengthen their talent development infrastructure.
A world where every young person has access to the systems, skills, and support needed to thrive in work and life.
We envision education and employment systems that are connected, adaptive, and oriented toward human flourishing.
