The program revolved around “Leadership in a VUCA World”. Many would be perplexed by the term “VUCA”, let alone know what leading a world as such entails. The COVID pandemic led to a renewed understanding of this phrase, which had been initially accepted in the late 1980s to reflect the realities of the end of the Cold War.   Change, ironically being the most constant phenomenon, is the future smirking back at the uncertainty it holds, problems aligned like dominoes consumed by the desire to flaunt the havoc they can create. We are all either on standby or being tossed by the ocean. With all these veiling our awaiting success, how do we get past them and shake hands with our success? Our CEO Kidist Gebreamlak was, Co-founder and CEO of Zero-One Zero-One PLC and the Senior Center Manager of the Center for Innovative Drug Development and Therapeutic Trials for Africa (CDT Africa), Kidist is a strategic, emphatic woman who is driven to unleash the unrealized potential of African women and youth as innovative change makers. Having expressed how connected she felt to the topic of discussion, “Leadership in a VUCA World”. Kidist spoke of how, as leaders, we are expected to thrive in this inevitable reality, be it on an individual or international level. She then warmly welcomed our speakers, whom she thought was the ideal choice as they would speak from their own experiences and walks of life rather than merely possessing a superficial understanding.

But what comes next? The third business lifecycle, also known as the Growth and Establishment Stage, is a critical phase for businesses that have successfully survived the early stages.

The first training and coaching program on “Studying Skills” has been concluded successfully. 62 students participated in the PBL classes to completion in a very interactive and progressive manner. The classes were full of bright students with a creative and adaptable approach to the training. The program is unique in its approach to educating and equipping students using a practical and hands-on methodology called Project-Based Learning (PBL). A student-centered teaching method that focuses primarily on creative exploration, experimentation, and development with real-world challenges and problems. Our first training at the campus focused on the subject of Studying Skills and how they can utilize them in their day-to-day academic and personal lives. Some of the Topics Included;- The module was completed with three successful sessions where the students executed projects, activities, and take-home assignments. The module included insightful methods, progressive mindset techniques, constructive tools, and skill sets. The classes had energizers and experience-sharing sessions to inspire, motivate and share ideas. 0101-TE’s assessment of the trainees was based on the project submissions, in-class participation, and additional evaluation criteria set based on the specific topic they are learning. Our trainees at the university were 1st-year students, and we believe this “studying skills” training was essential to help the students in their first class sessions at the campus. By utilizing the lessons we had in our training the students will be able to use their skills and apply them on their tests and projects at the university.

Our CEO Kidist Gebreamlak was a panelist at the celebration event of the 8th International Day of Women and Girls in Science celebrated at the Ethiopian Academy of Science headquarters. She presented a paper titled “Current Initiatives to Promote Gender-Transformative STEM”. The event was organized by the Ethiopian Academy of Sciences (EAS) in collaboration with STEM Power and UNESCO Addis Ababa Liaison Office. At the event, there was an exhibition and panel discussion. Dr. Tibebeselassie Seyoum Keflie, the Deputy Executive Director of EAS, introduced the event program to the participants from different sectors and backgrounds including schools. There is a significant gender gap in the participation of women and girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) academic careers as Tibebeselassie mentioned. The Panelists were Dr. Aster Tsegaye, Dr. Mitike Molla, Dr. Samuel Partey, and Mrs. Kidist Gebreamlak. Dr. Aster, Chairperson of the Society of Ethiopian Women in Science and Technology (SEWiST), said that the participation of women in science, research, and social services is less than 30%. She also reiterated the fundamental message ‘’Women need science and science needs women’’. Dr. Mitike from Addis Ababa University and Mrs. Kidist from Zero One Zero One PLC pointed out that although the number of girls in school is better than ever, women and girls are still underrepresented in STEM fields. Ethiopia has a few female scientists but girls at school can use them as role models, said Dr. Partey.
