African professionals in the diaspora have a unique and powerful role to play in fostering sustainable partnerships and collaborations between Germany and their countries of origin in Africa.
AG-Career Hub is a consulting and information platform. Founded in 2018 by Kenyan professionals with firsthand experience studying and working in Germany, the company has successfully built the largest network of Kenyan Professionals in Germany, encompassing students, graduates, professionals, returnees, and founders of companies and organizations who have received training in Germany.
The company focuses on three core dimensions: NetworkingHub, TalentHub, and DiasporaConnectHub.
- NetworkingHub offers career guidance and facilitates connections between students, graduates, and professionals with universities, training institutions, and mentors in Germany.
- TalentHub connects students, graduates, and job seekers with employers in Germany and remote opportunities.
- DiasporaConnectHub facilitates connections for businesses, institutions, and universities pursuing partnerships between Germany and Kenya, while linking them with partners interested in engaging with the Kenyan diaspora.
Our primary goal is to address the challenges faced by young people migrating to Germany in search of career opportunities by connecting them with mentors and buddies who have navigated the process and can provide valuable support. Additionally, we strive to foster partnerships that promote mutually beneficial collaborations in business, academia, and community development between Germany and Kenya.
Achievements
Academic Linkages
The company has achieved a significant milestone by establishing the first academic partnership between Hochschule Koblenz and Mount Kenya University, initiating its inaugural pilot project. This research project focuses on offering a sustainable solution to Germany's labor crisis by advocating for a "hire to train" approach, emphasizing the recruitment of individuals for training rather than hiring already trained professionals.
