Ghana and Japan have signed an agreement to enhance and develop the country's automobile industry through the maiden edition of the Auto Connect Skills Beyond Borders with the aim to boost the skills of technical institutions and individuals involved in the automobile and auto mechanisms sector.

The initiative focuses on training and integration with Japanese companies, providing Ghanaian youth with the skills needed to advance in the automotive industry. Participants will also gain exposure to the Japanese language and culture, creating further opportunities for employment with Japanese companies in Ghana or Japan.

Speaking at the event, Mrs. Lily Gyimah, Deputy Director General of Ghana TVET, highlighted that the six-month program combines both English and Japanese components, offering participants a unique opportunity to deepen their skills while learning the Japanese language. He added that the move will increase their chances of securing jobs with Japanese firms in either Ghana or Japan.

"Auto Connect will allow students and individuals in the automobile sector to have the privilege to study in Japan and learn Japanese as an on-top course," Mrs. Gyimah said.

She added that while the program does not guarantee jobs, successful participants will be able to work with Japanese companies, both locally and abroad.
