Are you a student gamer with dreams of making it big in the gaming industry? Here’s your chance to get started.

Carry1st, Africa’s leading publisher of mobile games, is launching Growth Tribe in 2026 — a student program built to give you hands-on exposure to the business of gaming. But before the official launch, we’re opening the doors to an exclusive pilot program where you’ll experience a slice of Growth Tribe, learn directly from our team, and secure priority access to the full program next year.

About the Pilot

The program runs from 25 September to 17 October 2025. Over four weeks, you’ll:

  • Learn how the gaming industry operates behind the scenes.
  • Build practical skills in project management, marketing, event planning, and community management.
  • Collaborate on a real Carry1st case study, working on a live gaming activation event.
  • Receive one-on-one guidance from a dedicated Carry1st mentor.

Why Join?

This is more than just another extracurricular activity. The pilot gives you:

  • Real-world experience to add to your CV.
  • Networking opportunities with gaming industry professionals.
  • Priority consideration for the full Growth Tribe program in 2026.

And because this is a pilot, your feedback will shape the future of Growth Tribe. You won’t just take part — you’ll help design the experience for students who join after you.

Who Can Apply?

The pilot is open to:

  • All university students in South Africa.
  • Any degree, any year of study.
  • No prior experience required — just curiosity, commitment, and a passion for gaming.

There are only 15 spots available, so apply early.

Applications close on 19 September 2025 at 13:00. Late applications will not be accepted.
