ALX Launchpad Program for High-potentials Changemakers

Applications are open for the ALX Launchpad Program 2018. The ALX Launchpad empowers recent university graduates with leadership skills, entrepreneurial experience and connections to a powerful network of potential employers and investors. ALX is your platform to launch a career of impact and purpose or incubate your own venture.

The six-month ALX Launchpad initiates your 5 year membership in the ALX community. You will gain access to exciting career opportunities, continuous learning and a powerful network of investors, mentors and leaders.
