<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has lauded Ecobank over a partnership deal with the National Youth Authority (NYA) to create 3000 jobs.<\/p>\n
The Pan-African bank is offering to absorb 3000 unemployed youth after undergoing a three-month training programme.<\/p>\n
The NYA on Thursday, February 08, 2018 launched the Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurship Programme for persons between the ages of 15 to 35 with a minimum knowledge in Information and Communication Technology (ICT).<\/p>\n
The programme will equip participants with the requisite technology-driven entrepreneurial skills to use the internet, especially social media to market their products and services as well as start virtual offices in a bid to reduce unemployment in Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have launched the Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurship Programme at the Accra Digital Centre. This programme, with 10 regional training centres, has already recruited 3,000 young, unemployed people, to undergo a 3-month all-expenses-paid training,\u201d President Akufo-Addo said during his second State of the Nation Address on Thursday.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI am happy to announce that Ecobank Ghana Ltd has already offered to engage all 3,000 young people, after the training programme. This is just the tip of the iceberg.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Online Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurship Training Programme is part of efforts to equip over 3000 youth, mostly the vulnerable with employable skills by December 2018.<\/p>\n
Having passed a pre-test session to establish knowledge level, successful applicants will benefit from three-month hands on training and technical support.<\/p>\n
E-Marketing and Digital Media Entrepreneurship Training has the potential to help create a more practical and current set of learning tools to match the rapidly changing skills required in today\u2019s workforce, building a new generation with the required skills and confidence to succeed in an emerging knowledge society.<\/p>\n
The NYA is collaborating with a number of organizations including the Accra Digital Centre, Kofi Annan ICT Centre, District Assemblies and Members of Parliament to carry out the programme.<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo was represented at the launch by Senior minister Yaw Osafo Maafo, The Sports minister Isaac Asiamah and Communications minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful graced the occasion as the NYA and Ecobank signed a Memorandum of Understanding.<\/p>\n
