The initiative is growing rapidly and now the organization needs ambitious Nordic students to work in the national operations in collaboration with local African counterparts. This is a unique opportunity to learn by doing while being supported by a community of young doers, experienced entrepreneurs, the private sector, and government entities. The national teams are cross-continental, primarily consisting of two people from the Nordics and two people from the African nation in question. The primary responsibility of the National Teams is to build an infrastructure to enable young doers to do novel entrepreneurial initiatives in the country in question. National Teams have free hands to build up the operations as they see fit based on the challenges and opportunities of the nation. We are currently looking for people for all 54 African nations starting with Rwanda, Tunisia, Mozambique, Uganda, Gambia, and Ghana. However, if you have contacts or experiences from other countries go for it, join the national team for that country. The first National Team has been formed for Kenya and you can find an info page about the doers here: https://www.ambitiousafrica.org/teams This is an opportunity to build up operations in a market on another continent where you will get invaluable experiences and learning. You will improve your communication skills, understanding of emerging markets as well as building a network to Africa. Furthermore, this is a chance to step out of your comfort zone and be part of a paradigm change.
