Ademola Adeyemi-King’s journey and work under the Ade-Impact brand tell the story of how education and technology are reshaping Africa’s workforce. His path, which began as an education advocate and sales solutions expert, has evolved into a career that spans EdTech, global student recruitment, AI adoption, and youth mentorship.
Through platforms such as AHDEM Education, Techy Tutors, and The Camera Is Me, he has impacted more than 20,000 people from teenagers in underserved communities to employees in SMEs learning how to apply AI in their workplaces.
His work illustrates the shift happening across Africa: education no longer limited to classrooms, but extended through technology, mentorship, and entrepreneurial training. Recognized internationally including the Tech Education & Skills Development Leadership Award in the UK and as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management and Leadership (USA); Adeyemi-King has become one of the prominent voices pushing for Africa’s digital readiness.
On Starting AHDEM Education
AHDEM Education was created to provide global student recruitment, EdTech adoption, and workforce readiness programs. These initiatives focus on one central goal: aligning Africa’s youth talent with the opportunities of a digital-first economy.
At AHDEM Education, the emphasis has always been on transformation. A standout story is that of a shy teenager from a small town who joined an AI literacy initiative. Within months of learning to use AI for graphic design, she was earning freelance income online enough to support her family. This transformation is not charity; it is smart economics.
Similarly, through Techy Tutors, employees across industries have gained hands-on training in AI adoption. One mid-sized property services company reduced customer response times by 60% after staff were trained on AI chatbots, leading to higher retention and revenue growth. These examples highlight how young workers, once overlooked, are now powering measurable business outcomes.
Impact to Date
The numbers tell a compelling story:
● 20,000+ individuals empowered through education and digital skills programs.
● SMEs reporting efficiency gains, better customer service, and increased sales.
● Rural teenagers turned digital entrepreneurs, earning income through design and AI-powered tools.
Beyond the statistics, the real impact is cultural: young Africans are beginning to see themselves not just as job seekers but as creators, innovators, and contributors to the global economy.
The Bigger Picture
According to the World Bank, nearly 230 million jobs in Sub-Saharan Africa will require digital skills by 2030. AHDEM Education is building pathways to meet that demand focusing on AI & digital skills training, mindset and leadership development, and global pathways for talent.
By embedding resilience, creativity, and digital fluency into young people today, Adeyemi-King believes the continent can transform its demographic advantage into a competitive edge. For him, the work ahead is not just about keeping pace with technology, but about ensuring that Africa’s workforce leads in shaping it.
