About African Future University

Fully online African digital university with French and English pathways.

Overview

African Future University’s tuition-free online MSc in Youth Employment and Skills Systems is for TVET managers, public-employment-service staff, and NGO livelihoods officers who must design programmes that do not evaporate after a graduation photo. You will study apprenticeships, tracing, public works, and private-sector interfaces as systems—not as a promise of jobs this university cannot give. English and French assessment options match how many labour ministries still file. Rural and informal-sector cases are required. The degree does not confer QTS and does not employ you at the ILO. Capstones use anonymised tracer or programme files.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
