Description

In this episode, Edem is joined by Rick Cross, Global Recruitment Manager at the Global Institute of Sport (GIS), to unpack a new and exciting partnership between GIS and Africa Business of Sport.


They explore why Africa is a key focus market for international sports education, the uniqueness of GIS programs like the MSc in International Sport Management and MA in Sports Agency, and how this partnership unlocks real opportunities for African students. Rick shares insights on employability, the flexibility of learning across global campuses or online, and the long-term impact this initiative aims to have on the African sport ecosystem.
