Leadership development firm contributes learning through Ubuntu Academy
LONDON – March 31, 2026 – 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.”
The programme aims to train more than 10,000 people over the coming years through AI-enabled, self-paced learning. In addition to logistics training, the curriculum includes professional development that can help learners build confidence, manage responsibilities, and succeed in a range of employment settings.
“We’re pleased to support DHL’s Ubuntu Academy by contributing learning that helps young people build the capabilities that matter early in a career and continue to empower them as they grow into leadership roles,” said Nicky Stirling, chief sales officer at Alchemist. “These are skills that are critical to success at work, such as managing priorities, handling challenges at work, or working through differences with others.”
