Coca-Cola Fights Unemployment

As the effect of the global credit crunch lingers on and companies resort to laying employees off, The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Ghana (TCCBCG) has been looking for ways of creating jobs for the youth. The company introduced what it calls the “Trolley Boys Project” during the latter part of 2007 to widen its distribution network as it finds ways of supporting the state's effort at creating job opportunities for the youth.

So far the project has created jobs for about 500 young people between the ages of 20 and 25.
