Empowering SHS Students/Graduates Through Technology: IT For Youth Ghana’s Collaborative Training Program

At IT For Youth Ghana, we are proud to announce a productive collaboration with the Ghana Education Service, Office of Ga West and Ga East Municipality, and the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) to implement a training program for Senior High School (SHS) students and graduates especially girls. These young women, who have recently completed their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) or on vacation, face a crucial period of transition as they await their results. Therefore, this time presents a unique opportunity to equip them with valuable technological skills that will significantly enhance their prospects in the technology-driven world.

Bridging the Gender Gap in STEM

In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, equipping young girls with IT skills is essential for their future career prospects and overall empowerment. Consequently, our organization firmly believes that every young person, regardless of gender, should have the opportunity to acquire these valuable skills. By fostering an interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) among girls, we aim to bridge the gender gap in these fields and promote inclusivity and diversity.

Program Goals

Our training program is primarily designed to stimulate the interest of SHS students/graduates especially girls in pursuing STEM programs and careers. By providing hands-on experience and practical knowledge, we empower these young women to take full advantage of technological advancements. As a result, the skills they acquire during this program will not only prepare them for further education in STEM fields but also equip them to thrive in the modern workforce.
