Your TESA story doesn't end at
graduation
The Alumni Network keeps you close to the work — continuing education, placement support, mentoring and a community of people who do the job you do, across Africa.

Membership that actually does something
Four things every member gets, beyond a certificate on the wall.
A real network
Peer introductions, referrals and a directory of professionals who understand your role.
Career momentum
Priority placement support, employer referrals and coaching that moves you up, not sideways.
Continuing education
Member rates on short courses, masterclasses and refresher sessions.
Mentoring both ways
Be mentored by senior alumni — or mentor those coming up behind you.
People who understand the role
Executive support is a specific craft, and it can be a lonely one. The network puts you in a room — physical and digital — with people who have already solved the problem you are facing this week.
- Members-only meetups, roundtables and peer sessions
- A directory you can actually reach out through
- An alumni job board with roles shared by employer partners
