About us
Why the Opportunities Hub Exists
Across Africa and beyond, scholars have world-class expertise but limited access to structured, verified, and monetisable opportunities. The Opportunities Hub brings all these possibilities into one trusted digital ecosystem – exclusively for members of The PhD Hangout network.
Three Value Pillars
Curated Opportunities
Daily verified calls, grants, consultancies, reviews, training roles, editorial work, and academic openings.
Monetise Your Expertise
Earn income through consultancies, reviews, advisory roles, facilitation, and collaborations.
A Trusted PhD-Only Ecosystem
Access limited to verified scholars, ensuring quality, credibility, and meaningful engagement.
How it Works
Bringing business and community members together.
