Chief Executive Officer Malik Basintale announced this at the Government Accountability Series at Jubilee House today, Wednesday, October 21, 2026, describing the partnership as part of efforts to expand employment opportunities in the digital economy.
He said the initiative was intended to diversify the pathways available to young Ghanaians by equipping them with skills relevant to the evolving digital environment.
“I am happy to report that the YEA has signed an MoU with the Ghana Digital Centre to enrol 2000 beneficiaries into various IT-related programmes and capacity-building initiatives,” Mr Basintale said.
