Commercially Aware

Commercially Aware is a virtual career resource center using infographics to improve the commercial awareness skills of young professionals in Africa and providing a training ground for future investment bankers, accountants and transactional lawyers. Our vision is to reach as many students and young professionals on the continent with our commercial awareness message through our daily newsletters, weekly Market Wrap-Up, YouTube Channel, research journals and social platforms. In line with our objective of creating a more commercially aware community of students and young professionals especially in Africa, we aim to set up a Commercial Awareness Society in every university across Africa. The Commercial Awareness Society offers members the opportunity to attend our fortnightly meetings where they can direct discussions, concerning what they have identified to be the current and relevant commercial issues at the time of the meeting and how these issues affect businesses. We also organise Open Days at the office sites of our partners/sponsors; workshops facilitated by entrepreneurs and corporate professionals across industries; and networking events for students, school leavers and young professionals. We hope all our efforts aggregate into broadening the African student’s horizon and increase her opportunities anywhere in the world. Ultimately, we seek to make our readers and/or members more employable by demystifying finance and aiding understanding of current relevant commercial issues and their impact on businesses and economies.
