The week delivered:

Why does East African talent matter globally?
East African talent brings ambition, adaptability, and the service instinct to international roles. Employers increasingly recognize that.
According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, Africa's travel and tourism sector continues to grow as a significant economic contributor. That expansion strengthens the region's professional talent pipeline.
