The programme which was held at the Inservice Training Center in Bolgatanga brought together about 100 participants. About 30 young people were trained in the Upper East Region for this cohort in Web Application Development, 21 in incubation and the rest did an internship with organisations to build experiences and possibly get jobs with those firms or elsewhere.
The programme brought key stakeholders including a lecturer and head of the department of Bolgatanga Technical University (BTU) Mr. Richard Azunre, the CEO of Norgence Academy, Mr. Naa Bogbire Albert, CEO of Loozeele Initiatives, Mrs. Teni Agana, among others.
The CEO of Dansyn ISO, Daniel Yennube Nang, noted that the incubation hub aims at continually supporting the youth in the region with entrepreneurial and digital skills to help empower them toward job creation and poverty reduction.
A keynote address delivered by Richard Azunre, lecturer at Bolgatanga Technical University encouraged the trainees to use the skills they acquired judiciously and lift themselves out of poverty.
Mrs. Teni Agana, the CEO of Loozeele Initiative, an organization that supports young ladies in the region also challenged the trainees to look beyond their backgrounds and focus on their goals.
She emphasized the importance of digital technology in building and managing a successful business.
The CEO of Norgence Academy, an IT training organization in the region also admonished the youth to embrace the digital profession since it is the only way to succeed in this digital world. He encouraged the youth to be patient and save some money to support their startups, especially at the beginning of their businesses instead of buying expensive phones.
