Success Stories
Hear how our programmes equip students with the skills, confidence and support to drive meaningful change.
Omar Cusmaan
Fundraising Assistant at School Farms, Ghana
Now an Income Generation Coordinator at Carers UK
"Before I got involved with the Learning Connected programme, I was searching for experience before finishing my undergraduate studies. The programme gave me the confidence to apply for roles I wouldn’t have considered before.
Beyond training and hands-on experience, the unwavering support from my mentor was key. During a gruelling seven-month job search, they were always there for guidance and encouragement.
Thanks to Learning Connected, I secured a permanent role at Carers UK. The structured approach, real-world applications, and mentorship gave me the confidence and tools to excel. I’m incredibly grateful for the impact they had on my professional development."
Shekinah Mwape
Programme Associate at Assorted Trends, Uganda
Now a Team Assistant at Project Everyone
"Before joining Learning Connected, I struggled to find opportunities in the social impact sector and felt unsure about my career direction.
From the start, Learning Connected provided valuable skills training and ongoing support. The programme confirmed my passion for social change and directly contributed to securing my first role after graduation. The diverse skill set I developed became a strong foundation when applying for my current role.
I am grateful to Learning Connected—not just for the opportunities but for the support from the mentors. I highly recommend the programme to anyone looking to gain real-world experience that benefits both individuals and the organisations they serve.”
