Do you know what they say about opportunities?
There are many variations but the most common is that success is where opportunity meets preparation.
Before we get into that, how are you and how did your week go?
August is rapidly coming to an end (we wonder where the month is flying to). That aside, we hope this month has been a good one so far. There are still a few days left in the month. We encourage you to make the most of it and positively look forward to the new month. Ok?
Alright, let’s get into our message for the day - opportunities!
We have some important opportunities we’d like to share with you. Please read through and take action immediately. You know what they say about procrastination!
Pick My Brain Sessions with Adedoyin
We’re piloting something new with our Co-Founder from September to December. We’re calling it ‘Pick My Brain Session’.

Access the best job for you
We’re getting to the end of the year and there are many interesting job openings across Africa for communications professionals.
If you’re currently job hunting, we’d like to support you by sharing the best job opportunities with you. We encourage you to upload your details to our Job Bank so we can recommend you for suitable opportunities that come up.
Still on opportunities (yes, we’re very serious here!)
The UNDP is launching the Africa Youth Exchange Programme (AYEP), a 12-month ‘Learn to Earn’ youth empowerment initiative between the public sector, private sector and UNDP with a focus on the exchange of young people across varied work placements throughout Africa.
Validation sessions to support project implementation will take place next week. You are specially invited to take part in one of these sessions and provide your input on how this programme can be of greater benefit to you and other young people across Africa.
For Host Organizations including Youth Led SMEs, the session will hold on Wednesday August 31, 2022- 11am and 2pm WAT. You can sign up here.
For Youth Graduates and Youth Development Leaders, the session will hold on Friday, September 2, 2022- 11am and 2pm WAT. You can sign up here.
And finally…
Please remember you can volunteer to lead a Peer Knowledge Session in the community.
If there is a topic or area in Comms/ PR that you are passionate about or you have a professional hack that’s working for you, we’d like to learn from you. You can volunteer by sending an email to letstalk@thecommsavenue.com.
We hope these opportunities have left you feeling gingered :-)
