Our Mission

Africa is not short of talent.
Africa is short of direction.

We're building Africa's career intelligence infrastructure β€” not just an app, but the navigation system for 200+ million young Africans entering the workforce.

Not motivation. Navigation.

The Guidance Gap

Talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. For millions of African youth, the path to a fulfilling career is blocked not by a lack of ability, but by a lack of visibility.

Without access to mentors, labor market data, or professional networks, young people often make education choices that lead to unemployment.

Wimentor bridges this gap by using data and technology to scale the kind of high-quality mentorship that was previously reserved for the elite.

How Wimentor Works

Like Google Maps for careers β€” detecting congestion, recalculating routes, adapting continuously

1

Student Signals

Students share subjects, interests, strengths, career questions, location, and education context.

2

Guided Pathways

Signals matched against local market demand, mentor experience, and real outcomes to produce early career direction.

3

Human-in-the-Loop

Experienced mentors validate guidance, adjust paths, and explain trade-offs β€” keeping decisions grounded while data matures.

4

Continuous Learning

Student choices, mentor feedback, and outcomes feed back into the system, improving guidance accuracy over time.

Just like Google Maps: We detect congestion (oversaturated fields), recalculate routes (suggest alternatives), and adapt continuously based on real-time data.

Why Wimentor Wins

The principles that make us different

Africa-First by Design

Built for Africa β€” navigating both informal and formal economies, regional contexts, and continent-specific opportunities. Not a Western import.

Data-Driven + Human-Centered

Technology enables connections, but humans build relationships. Real-time data meets empathetic mentorship.

Continuous Guidance

Not one-off tests. Ongoing support that adapts as students grow, markets shift, and opportunities emerge.

Ecosystem Model

Connecting students, mentors, schools, employers, and governments in one unified career intelligence platform.

Workforce Intelligence

Generating valuable labor market insights for governments and enterprises while guiding students β€” a unique dual value proposition.

Gets Smarter Over Time

Every interaction improves the system. The platform becomes more accurate and valuable as it scales.
