Africa has the world's largest working-age population of 1.1 billion. Getting this youth population to convert from demographic statistics to an economic force is, of course, a function of the level of investment and the momentum of development initiatives that can translate into jobs for the youth.

By learning global skills, African youth can tap into the global job market. Pandemic induced new norm of "work from home" have made futuristic tech-enabled jobs available to the youth across the world. Through HexGn programs, African youth can also aim to be a part of the new global economy.
