With THRiVE's Launchpad, I got paired with the internship that got me in contact with the person who reinforced the importance of thinking my own thoughts and thinking better thoughts, in a world filled with many voices. I have had many firsts, since the Launchpad at THRiVE but one profound statement guiding my life right now, is something The lead at THRiVE said in one of our nothing-short-of-phenomenal sessions, “Nothing, absolutely nothing is out of reach." He reinforced it at The THRiVE Cafe and every day since, I've woken up and gone to bed reminding myself that nothing is out of reach if I put in the work in my pursuit.

Content and Research Intern with TEACHThe LaunchPad Fellowship was instrumental in shaping my career trajectory. Through the immersive sessions and tailored opportunities, I gained invaluable insights into the global labor market and how to position oneself. The skills I developed during the program, coupled with the learnings, directly contributed to my securing an internship in a leading finance firm. My participation in the Miss Enterprise Africa competition, where I won the Best CSR Award, further solidified my confidence and leadership abilities. I am grateful for the LaunchPad's role in propelling my professional growth.

Support Intern with CardifyThank you for the great work you are doing at THRiVE. THRiVE is indeed a space for intellectuals. The LaunchPad was a rare opportunity that left me with so much expression and foresight to life. I was able to learn how to utilize my ability to multitask and this gave me an edge in a world of limitless possibilities. Also, I was privileged to be placed as an HR Intern at CardifyAfrica, an experience I will always cherish.

Human Resource Intern with CardifyMy experience as a THRiVE Launchpad fellow has been the most intriguing experience for me this year. I have learned, unlearned, and relearned so many things. I have given myself to challenging things that are necessary for my growth. some of the impacts the Thrive program had on me are listed below: Development of a growth mindset Seeing possibilities in everything I do. Not thinking less of myself (boost of confidence) Self-awareness Hunger for learning Branding and Collaboration Build relationships How to navigate ambiguity. This impact has made me realize how much is deposited in me and I can't know if I am not doing anything. This has widened my knowledge. I am grateful to THRiVE HUB for this wholesome experience given to me.
