Alchemist Partners with DHL to Expand Skills Training for Youth Across the Middle East and Africa

LONDON - EntSun -- Alchemist, a global leadership development company specialising in immersive, experiential and interactive learning, today announced a partnership with DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of DHL Group, to contribute learning content to the Ubuntu Academy.

Launched by DHL Global Forwarding and the International Organization for Migration in January 2026, the Academy is a digital training programme that equips disadvantaged youth in the Middle East and Africa with the workplace knowledge needed to access new employment opportunities.

As part of the partnership, Alchemist has provided two courses—time management and conflict resolution—to the Academy's soft skills curriculum. The content is designed to help learners build core capabilities that support strong performance at work and future growth.

"Alchemist brings strong expertise in leadership development and covers topics that really matter for people entering the workforce," said Matthew Broszko, head of certified development and learning for the Middle East and Africa at DHL Global Forwarding. "We're grateful for their support, and we're confident participants will find the learning practical and useful."
