People

Many people are involved in CAEL's work. At their core are two distinct but complementary groups known as associates, who come from both the academic community and industry. They are full time members of staff of the University of Wolverhampton and employees of other higher education institutions and organisations based in the UK and in Africa. Each of them brings a unique quality that enriches the work we do with higher education institutions, governments, groups and organisations across Africa. Together, we share a collective passion and commitment to using our expertise to help make a real difference in African communities in which we serve, through our capacity building work in entrepreneurship and leadership.
