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
