EDUCATED AFRICANA: EP.9 Trades vs. Corporate

Episode • Dec 5, 2023 • 49m

How do you define success? What do you want for your children? Do you believe that there is a strict hierarchy of trades and corporate jobs? We here this over and over again of how back in the day our parents wanted us to have the top three jobs; lawyer, doctor, or engineer. But we all soon learned not everyone can be in those professions. We need people across the board. So why is there such a stigma against blue collar jobs?

Zenith Malawo and Gift Mbewe have an exciting discussion about the pros and cons of both trades vs. corporate career paths. They also discuss the prevailing perceptions.

Let's talk about it.

The world has advanced so quickly. However, education in Africa is not keeping up at the same pace. Be it the curriculum content, teaching methods or stakeholders commitment, there is an urgency to adapt to the times. Furthermore, conversations around Education have only focused on the traditional models. Until now.

The Educated Africana, hosted by Tebogo Kangote III brings together diverse voices to have in depth discussions about Education in Africa.
