The African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) has officially opened applications for the Youth Policy Lab 2026, a prestigious virtual policy innovation programme designed for young Africans passionate about governance, policy-making, and sustainable development.

🚀 Don't Miss Out!

Programme Highlights

  • Virtual Policy Innovation Challenge
  • Hands-on mentorship from leading policy experts
  • Intensive training in policy analysis, design, and communication
  • Access to a powerful Pan-African network of young leaders
  • Internship opportunities with reputable organizations
  • Attractive cash prizes for outstanding participants

The Youth Policy Lab is more than just a competition — it is a leadership and capacity-building platform aimed at equipping the next generation of African policymakers with the skills, confidence, and networks needed to drive meaningful change across the continent.

Who Should Apply?

The programme is open to young Africans (especially those aged 18–35) who are:

  • Passionate about public policy and governance
  • Interested in solving pressing developmental challenges
  • Eager to develop strong analytical and presentation skills
  • Committed to making impact in their communities and countries

No prior policy experience is required — only passion, creativity, and commitment to learning.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
