Akad Mentorship Success Model
The Akad Education Group – Africa’s model is based on molding aspirations.
Research shows that low aspirations are an obstacle to long-term upward mobility - even when resources given (E. Duflo, P. Dupas & M. Kremer, 2012). Aspirations can be shaped through social interactions with successful peers and members of one’s community.
Learning about positive experiences of others in the community help change aspirations and, in turn, induce greater investments in education and income generating activities.
Our events include active student participation through robust question and answer sessions moderated by Dr. Weche and other professionals, with follow up networking, tours, Job Shadowing. We specifically tailor make the events to meet the expressed needs of the audience, based on their age; working with upper primary, high school and college youth and working class adults.

Testimonials
Angaza school coaching programJan – April 2014
This serves to confirm that Angaza Life and Career Coaching have been having the Angaza Life Coaching program with our class 7 and 8 pupils.
Out of their interaction with our pupils we have found Coach Mercy and Coach Jacky to be mature and knowledgeable in the way they carry themselves and deal with the pupils. Our children have benefited immensely from the coaching program and always look forward for the next session.
Our pupils have gained confidence and become focused in their studies. Their work output has thus improved. As a parent in class 7, I have seen great improvement in my daughter not only in school work but also at home too. I do not hesitate to recommend Direzione Life Coaching (DLC) program to whoever wishes to see real change in their children. Sarah W. Kinyanjui, Head of Schoo, Muguga Heritage School- Limuru.
