Funded : Applications are open for the fifth cohort of the BMGA Fellows Program

The 2024 BMGA Fellows Programme is a social impact programme by the BMGA Foundation that aims to reduce the gender skills gap among university graduates in Asia and Africa.

The six-month programme aims to provide young women with the necessary knowledge, resources, and access to acquire core employability skills, thereby enhancing their marketability and preparing them for successful careers in the twenty-first century.

High-level professional development courses, coaching from senior-level executives with international experience, mentorship from graduate students at prestigious universities worldwide, and life skills tailored to prepare young women for the workforce of the future are all provided by this entirely virtual programme.

Additionally, the African Leadership College, Giants of Africa, UN Women, African Society of Cambridge University (ASCU), University of Pretoria, University of Lagos, Oxford Africa Society, University of Ibadan, EI Skills Group, Storywork International, Gallup, Imperial College Business School, University College London, Sterling Bank, Women at Risk International Foundation (WARIF), and Femme Minty, to mention a few, have all supported previous cohorts of the programme. The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) is an official partner for the BMGA Fellows Programme.

After being chosen, participants undergo a rigorous six-month programme that supports transformative learning with the use of contemporary technology tools and resources. Modules in the programme are taught by professors, thought leaders, and professionals in the business from leading universities worldwide. Through interactive lectures, group discussions, and additional educational resources, attendees will acquire fresh perspectives on the competencies needed in today's ever-changing corporate landscape.
