Non-Trivial Impactful Careers Session

​Join The Accelerators Program (TAP) and Encode Africa for an exclusive interactive session featuring Jonah Boucher, CEO of Non-Trivial and Managing Director of Leaf Courses.

​How do you decide which global problems are most urgent to solve? And how do you build a trajectory early in your academic journey that commands international attention, funding, and mentorship?

​In this 45-minute interactive masterclass, we will deconstruct problem prioritization frameworks and introduce upcoming fellowship pipelines designed for high-potential youth across Africa and globally.

​We Will Cover

• ​Problem Prioritization Frameworks: Interactive exercises on evaluating pressing global challenges (Importance, Tractability, Neglectedness).

• ​Effective Career Strategy: How to pivot from standard academic achievements to building non-trivial career capital.

• ​Program Spotlights: Direct overview of upcoming fellowship cycles for Leaf Courses and Non-Trivial (including funding, research backing, and referral pipelines).

• ​Live Q&A: Ask Jonah Boucher directly about program applications, project selection, and what admissions committees look for.
