July 20, 2015: Two recent graduates of Sprott’s Bachelor of International Business (BIB) program are heading to Africa in August to spend eight months working in the areas of microenterprise and microfinance. Sarah McRae, BIB/15, and Nathan Randall, BIB/15, were selected from hundreds of applicants as recipients of the International Youth Fellowship from Aga Khan Foundation of Canada (AKFC).
“I’m interested in bridging the gap between business and development,” says Sarah. “There shouldn’t be a separation and it shouldn’t be up to policy makers alone. I see the power of international business in helping developing countries.”
AKFC accepts only 20-25 Fellows each year. The Fellowship features an eight-month overseas placement with a host organization. Fellows also receive a month-long training session at Carleton University, delivered by international development professionals from Canada and abroad.
