SIX Grace LTD Receives Ghana TVET Service Affiliation Certificate - A Major Milestone for The Artisans Hub Ghana Project

A significant milestone has been reached in the journey of Six Grace Limited, the private Ghanaian company behind The Artisans Hub Ghana Project, following the issuance of an official Certificate of Affiliation by the Ghana Technical and Vocational Education and Training Service (Ghana TVET Service).

The certificate, dated 25th May 2026, issued in the name of SIX GRACE LIMITED, formally confirms the company’s affiliation with the Ghana TVET Service under Informal Apprenticeship.

For Six Grace Limited and its Founder, Michael A. Sarfo-Kantanka, popularly known in Ghanaian political circles as Honorable Abilolo Billionaire, the development represents far more than the receipt of a certificate.

It is a powerful institutional validation of a journey that has been deliberately built around one central conviction: Ghana’s artisans possess enormous talent, but talent must be organised, strengthened, connected to opportunity and supported with the systems necessary to thrive.

And for Six Grace Limited, the certificate is only the beginning.

The Artisans Hub Ghana Project was conceived and developed by Six Grace Limited as a digital marketplace and livelihood ecosystem for Ghana’s artisans, designed to bridge the gap between skilled people and the opportunities that can transform their skills into sustainable livelihoods.

Under the project’s guiding proposition, “Bridging Talent and Opportunity,” The Artisans Hub seeks to create a more organised, regulated, trusted and accessible ecosystem through which artisans can be identified, verified, connected to clients and supported to participate meaningfully in Ghana’s growing digital and economic landscape.

The vision goes beyond simply putting artisans on a website.

The project is designed to facilitate artisan registration and verification, access to training and capacity development, certification pathways, links to relevant TVET opportunities, financial-service linkages, record keeping, employment opportunities and the generation of useful data about Ghana’s artisan economy.

It is this broader vision that brought Six Grace Limited into a series of engagements with the Ghana TVET Service.

Those engagements provided an opportunity for the leadership and technical teams of the TVET Service to gain a deeper understanding of what The Artisans Hub Ghana Project is about, the problem it seeks to address, its proposed operating model and the opportunities for institutional collaboration.

Following the success of these engagements, Six Grace Limited has successfully attained affiliation with the Ghana TVET Service under Informal Apprenticeship.

The resulting certificate now stands as an important milestone in the evolution of the project.

Ghana’s technical and vocational ecosystem is much larger than formal classrooms and training institutions.

Across the country, thousands of people acquire valuable skills through workshops, master craftsmen and women, informal apprenticeship arrangements and years of practical experience.

Many of these artisans are exceptionally skilled but may face challenges relating to formal recognition, visibility, access to markets, business development, finance, training, certification and sustainable opportunities.

The Artisans Hub was created with this reality in mind. Its objective is to help build the bridge between skill and opportunity.

That makes the emerging relationship between Six Grace Limited and the Ghana TVET Service, the Government body responsible for this sector, particularly significant. The Ghana TVET Service has a national mandate centred on technical and vocational education and training, employability, entrepreneurship, workplace learning, apprenticeship, quality assurance, industry linkages and the development of practical skills for national development.

The Artisans Hub, meanwhile, brings a digital platform and an emerging operational ecosystem capable of helping identify, organise, verify and connect artisans with opportunities. The potential convergence is therefore substantial.

Perhaps what makes this milestone particularly noteworthy is its timing.

The Certificate of Affiliation has been issued ahead of the formal signing ceremony for the broader partnership currently being advanced between Six Grace Limited and the Ghana TVET Service.

This means the certificate is not being presented as the end of the partnership process. Rather, it is an early institutional milestone in a relationship that is expected to be given a broader formal framework through the forthcoming partnership agreement and signing ceremony.

Six Grace Limited does not take the affiliation for granted, nor does it treat it as a substitute for the formal partnership that lies ahead. Instead, the company sees the certificate as an early validation of the direction of travel and a strong foundation upon which the next phase of collaboration can be built.

The journey from discussions, to understanding, to affiliation, and ultimately to a comprehensive partnership represents an important progression for a young Ghanaian enterprise seeking to contribute meaningfully to national development.

At the heart of The Artisans Hub Ghana is a simple but powerful proposition:

Ghana already has the talent. The challenge is building better systems around that talent.

The affiliation under Informal Apprenticeship is particularly meaningful.

Informal apprenticeship remains one of the important channels through which practical skills are transferred in Ghana. Master craftsmen and women have historically trained successive generations of artisans, creating livelihoods and preserving technical knowledge outside conventional classroom structures.

Yet the informal nature of the system can sometimes make it difficult for skilled individuals to access the wider benefits associated with formal systems of training, certification, finance, data and market opportunity.

This is an area where collaboration can create enormous possibilities.

The Artisans Hub’s digital infrastructure can potentially help make the artisan population more visible and more organised, while the TVET ecosystem can provide pathways towards skills development, apprenticeship strengthening, certification, quality assurance and other forms of institutional support.

The objective is not to replace Ghana’s existing artisan traditions but to strengthen them, connect them and help unlock their greater economic value.

For Six Grace Limited, the development of The Artisans Hub is part of a broader commitment to practical human and economic development.

The company’s approach has been to identify a real societal and economic problem and build a practical solution around it.

The Founder, Michael A. Sarfo-Kantanka, a human development advocate, has consistently positioned the project around the belief that development must ultimately translate into meaningful opportunities for people.

For him, the artisan is not merely a service provider listed on a platform, but a worker, entrepreneur, employer, apprentice trainer, parent, community member and contributor to Ghana’s economic life.

Consequently, improving the systems surrounding artisans has implications far beyond individual jobs. It touches livelihoods, families, skills development, youth employment, entrepreneurship, local economies and national productivity.

The Artisans Hub Ghana is now approaching an important implementation phase. The web application is being prepared for mass artisan enrolment through proposed district and regional onboarding activities, with the objective of building a strong artisan base before expanding aggressively into client acquisition.

Six Grace Limited is also advancing the establishment of its operational infrastructure, including its Kumasi National Headquarters, intended to serve as an administrative and coordination centre for the project and a venue for engagements with partners, clients and stakeholders.

The project will also utilise an agent referral and onboarding model, creating extra income opportunities for interested individuals whether employed or unemployed, to support artisan enrolment within their communities through referral mechanisms.

This approach is intended to enable The Artisans Hub to reach artisans beyond conventional urban networks and build a truly nationwide database.

The emerging partnership between Six Grace Limited and the Ghana TVET Service has the potential to bring together two complementary capabilities.

On one side is a State institution with responsibility for advancing Ghana’s technical and vocational skills agenda.

On the other, is a private Ghanaian company developing digital infrastructure specifically designed to connect artisans with markets, opportunities and support systems.

The opportunity is therefore to move beyond conventional partnership language and explore practical implementation.

That could include stronger artisan identification and mobilisation, informal apprenticeship support, skills-development linkages, certification pathways, industry connections, data generation, digital access to opportunities and other interventions that strengthen the artisan ecosystem.

The ultimate beneficiary should be the Ghanaian artisan.

Six Grace Limited recognises the significance of receiving an official Certificate of Affiliation from the Ghana TVET Service. The company is equally conscious that recognition creates responsibility.

The certificate carries the name of Six Grace Limited and confirms its affiliation with the Ghana TVET Service under Informal Apprenticeship.

For the team behind The Artisans Hub Ghana, however, its greatest value lies in what it represents; "trust earned through engagement and value proposition."

It represents the value of taking an idea seriously enough to subject it to State institutional scrutiny.

It represents the willingness of the national TVET institution to embrace a private-sector initiative seeking to contribute to Ghana’s informal skills and artisan development landscape.

And finally, it represents the beginning of what could become a significant collaboration in the effort to bring Ghana’s enormous pool of practical talent into a more organised, connected and opportunity-rich ecosystem.

The forthcoming formal partnership signing will therefore not be the beginning of the relationship but the next huge chapter of a journey that has already begun.
