APEA, African Preservice Education Association
Pillar 3 of 7 · EEES

Educator Entrepreneurship & Economic Systems

To address high joblessness among skilled youth and create alternative career pathways for highly educated professionals in an AI-driven economy.

This pillar mandates APEA to
  • Run start-up incubators for educational and social enterprise development, for educators and pre-professional youth.
  • Develop entrepreneurship curricula aligned with the green political economy and the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions.
  • Manage internship matching that connects skilled pre-professional youth to high-growth industries, including technology, energy and economic development.
  • Drive the commercialisation of APEA's intellectual property, so research and curriculum outputs fund the Association's work.
