A structured programme we run with enterprises across Africa to upskill high potentials toward the world's best business schools (FT global MBA top 20 tier), with platform prep, financing design, and talent pipelines. Your teams stay productive while they prepare; HR and leadership get a clear cohort model and optional immersion and hiring links to that same tier.
For talent upskilling we target admission to the best business schools worldwide at the Financial Times global MBA top 20 tier (and aligned Executive MBA / Executive MSc Finance paths). See the latest FT global MBA ranking.
School lists are calibrated with your HR and each talent; the programme keeps everyone on a single, explicit bar.
Full-time MBA upskilling paths aimed at admission to leading business schools in the FT global MBA top 20 only: tests, essays, interviews, and coaching at that bar.
Executive formats for working leaders, with prep and sponsorship narratives aligned to the same tier of global business school excellence.
Selective finance masters track with quantitative readiness, story, and interview depth for programmes comparable to that global top tier.
If you are a high potential or an executive and your company operates in Africa, you can nominate your employer for this programme. Share a few details and we will reach out to your HR on your behalf to explain how to join and set it up.

Liwaza exists so your organisation can grow people who are committed, highly productive, and calibrated to world-class performance expectations: not only “admitted”, but effective.
We help employers in Africa host candidates from leading MBA programmes (e.g. FT top 20) for immersion placements, bridging global academic excellence with on-the-ground company reality.
Beyond upskilling your own people, Liwaza supports access to a pipeline of African and international profiles coming out of top MBAs worldwide, as part of the same employer partnership.
Executive candidates cannot afford vague study plans. Liwaza combines AI workflows with alumni coaches so each talent knows what to do each week, where they stand, and when they are truly ready to apply, reducing thrash, retakes, and lost working hours.
Score and profile goals mapped to your talent’s school list.
Diagnostics, milestones, and feedback loops instead of open-ended self-study.
Essays, CV, and interviews reviewed with the bar of competitive programmes.
Liwaza brings expertise in designing the financing and accompaniment package alongside admissions prep, so employer, talent, and programme incentives line up. Final contracts are signed under your policies and local rules, with your legal team where required.
We help you shape loan mechanics, repayment triggers (e.g. post-programme bonus), and clarity for the talent, co-designed with your HR and, where needed, finalised with your counsel.
Together we structure sponsorship packages: what the company funds, stay or return expectations, bonus-linked clawbacks, and blended models so employer and employee interests stay aligned.
We connect investment to the outcomes you care about: leadership impact, execution, and post-graduation contribution, so financing and talent development reinforce each other, not just admissions.
Annual platform licences cover a defined number of seats per year for preparation on Liwaza. Additional scope (financing and sponsorship design, immersion internship programmes, recruitment pipeline support, and other partnership layers) is quoted alongside or as a bundle after we align on cohort size, programme mix, coaching depth, and the full value you want from the partnership.
