Upendezi wake katika Elimu ya Hisabati hapo awali ulisababishwa na kukaa kwake Marekani, ambayo iliambatana na tukio la Sputnik. Akifanya kazi na Programu ya Hisabati ya Kiafrika huko Newton, Massachusetts, chini ya uongozi wa profesa wa MIT Ted Martins, alishiriki katika semina za hisabati zilizofanyika katika miji anuwai ya Afrika kutoka 1963 hadi 1975.[10] Mambo muhimu yalijumuisha maandishi ya kozi na kozi za mawasiliano zinazohusu dhana za kimsingi katika hisabati, kufanya kazi pamoja na wanahisabati na waalimu wanaoongoza na kutajika. Alifundisha katika Chuo Kikuu cha Lagos kutoka 1965 hadi 1985, na alihudumu kwa mwongo mmoja kuongoza Taasisi ya Elimu, ambayo ilianzisha mipango ya ubunifu isiyo na shahada, na wapokeaji wengi wa cheti walikuwa wanawake wazee waliofanya kazi kama walimu wa shule ya msingi.[11]

Grace Alele-Williams aliteuliwa kuwa Makamu Mkuu wa kwanza wa kike wa Chuo Kikuu cha Nigeria mnamo 1985,[12] Profesa Williams anaamini kuwa uteuzi wake katika Chuo Kikuu cha Benin, kilichomalizika mnamo 1992, ilikuwa kesi ya jaribio kuonyesha uwezo wa wanawake wa utendaji. Miongoni mwa heshima zake ni zile za Jamaa wa Jumuiya ya Hesabu ya Nigeria na Chuo cha Elimu cha Nigeria; Mshindi wa Tuzo la sifa ya Jimbo la Bendel nchini Nigeria; na Makamu wa Rais wa Kanda wa Afrika wa Shirika la Tatu la Dunia la Wanawake katika Sayansi " (Science in Africa: Women Leading from Strength AAAS, Washington, 1993, p.174). Profesa Williams pia alikuwa Mwenyekiti wa Tume ya Umoja wa Hesabu ya Wanawake wa Hisabati.[13]

Ameshikilia na kutumikia katika nafasi anuwai. Kwa vile alitumikia katika kamati na bodi anuwai, Alele-Williams alikuwa ametoa michango muhimu katika ukuzaji wa elimu nchini Nigeria. Alikuwa mwenyekiti wa kamati ya ukaguzi mtaala, wa zamani Bendel State mnamo 1973–1979.[14][15][16] Kutoka mwaka wa 1979 hadi 1985, alitumikia kama mwenyekiti wa Jimbo la Lagos Kamati ya Mapitio ya Mitaala na Bodi za Mitihani za Jimbo la Lagos.[17]

Alele-Williams alikuwa mwanachama wa baraza linalosimamia, UNESCO Taasisi ya Elimu.[6][18] Yeye pia ni mshauri kwa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Elimu, Sayansi na Utamaduni (UNESCO) na Taasisi ya Mipango ya Elimu ya Kimataifa.[19][20] Kwa muongo mmoja (1963–73) alikuwa mwanachama wa African Mathematics Programme, inayopatikana jijini Newton, Massachusetts, Marekani.[2] Alikuwa pia makamu wa rais wa Shirika la Ulimwenguni la Elimu ya Awali na rais wa baadaye wa sura ya Nigeria.[16] Mnamo 1974, Alele-Williams alichapisha kitabu kilichoitwa Modern Mathematics Handbook for Teachers. Baada ya kutumikia kama Makamu Mkuu wa Chuo Kikuu cha Benin, alijiunga na bodi ya wakurugenzi ya Chevron-Texaco Nigeria Yeye pia yuko kwenye bodi ya HIP Asset Management Company Ltd, Asset Management Company Jijini Lagos, Nigeria.[21] Profesa Grace Awani Alele-Williams alikuwa nguvu ya kuzingatia wakati wa giza kwa elimu ya juu ya Nigeria. Wakati huo, shughuli za ibada za siri, mikutano na jamii zilikuwa zimeenea ndani ya Vyuo Vikuu vya Nigeria haswa katika Chuo Kikuu cha Benin.
