As part of our ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative for the year, the Ascend Digital team had the pleasure of visiting Palm University for their Career Day. The event aimed to inspire and equip students with practical insights into the evolving digital and technology landscape, as well as introduce them to real-world career opportunities in the industry.

The day began with the arrival of our team at Palm University, followed by a warm welcome from the university’s representatives. Our Head of Marketing, Thomas Brien, delivered the introductory message, setting the tone for a day filled with learning, collaboration, and inspiration. The students also enjoyed a short Ascend Digital video, giving them a glimpse into how we are enabling Africa’s digital economy through innovation in connectivity, AI, and financial technology.

Participants were then divided into smaller groups for interactive sessions led by representatives from Ascend Digital. These sessions provided an open platform for students to ask questions, explore career paths in technology, and learn how digital innovation is reshaping industries across Africa.

After lunch, students presented their project ideas, showcasing creativity and a clear enthusiasm for the digital future. The day concluded with a final wrap-up session, reinforcing our belief that learning can be both fun and impactful.

We are proud to have partnered with Palm University on this initiative and to have played a role in guiding young minds as they prepare to enter the professional world. At Ascend Digital, we remain committed to investing in education and supporting programs that empower the next generation of innovators.
