MTN Employees have been commended for volunteering time and resources to train the youth. As part of the 2022 edition of 21 Days of Y’ello Care program, MTN staff and their partners organised a Youth Upskill Programme for job seekers, graduates, and undergraduates in Accra.
The event held at the Accra Technical University brought together private recruitment agencies, business partners and other stakeholders to host CV clinics for the youth. The session also provided upskilling opportunities for people who had lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic by providing them with employable skills needed for the evolving job market. This year’s Y’ello Care was organized under the theme “Empowering communities to drive economic recovery”.
Through the organisation of the Y’ello Market Gig, traders and market women at the Makola, Ho, and Kwesimintsim Markets were provided with financial literacy and digital skills training. The participants were also taken through basic mobile apps on budgeting, revenue and expense tracking to enable them be more efficient in running their businesses. They were also introduced to apps that will help them reach more prospective buyers. Many of the beneficiaries commended MTN for spending time with them to share knowledge.
