Sustainability Leadership Programme
A partnership between TQT and CAfF that gives young African professionals a 50% scholarship on world-class QHSE and ESG certification courses.
Bridging the Sustainability Skills Gap in Africa
The Sustainability Leadership Programme is a joint initiative between TQT (Training & Quality Technologies) and the Change Africans Foundation (CAfF).
Africa's sustainable development agenda requires a well-trained generation of professionals in quality, health, safety, environment, and ESG disciplines. Yet the cost of internationally recognised certification courses remains a significant barrier for many young Africans.
Through this programme, CAfF awards qualifying learners a 50% scholarship on any TQT certification course — making world-class professional development accessible across the continent.
World-class accredited training courses, expert facilitators, industry-recognised certificates, and a structured learning journey from enrollment to certification.
A 50% scholarship award for qualifying young African professionals, community support, mentorship network, and a pipeline of talented sustainability leaders.
Affordable certification, a professional network, SDG-aligned career development, and the credentials that employers across Africa and beyond are seeking.
