Africa needs innovative technology to create wealth and employment opportunities. Eclectics International is a technology savvy company transforming Africa through innovative, state of the art tailor-made software solutions for Banking, Financial, Agricultural and Transport & Public sector and has existed for over 10 years with a presence in 25 African countries.

One of its main activities is automation such as e-wallet in banks. It is now easy to open a bank account with just an Identification Card (ID). Eclectics International competes with other international companies to provide local solutions. The importance of planning before undertaking tasks cannot be overemphasized.

Lack of formal employment has led to the growth of the informal economy. The youth are getting into jobs not because they want to expand their career path but because they want to survive. Therefore, there is a need for inculcation of entrepreneurial skills to students. Technology has opened a window of opportunities for the youth. Eclectics International provides a forum for local companies to advocate for local solutions and this is a great opportunity for graduates with excellent start-up ideas to benefit from business opportunities offered by Eclectics.

Entrepreneurship is one of the skills being promoted by the Office of Career Services to enable students come up with innovative ideas and create jobs for others in this economy with dwindling jobs by the day.
