| The Executive Director of E ON 3 Group, a digital marketing company, Mr. Richard Adjei Mensah Ofori Atta has announced the official launching of ‘Ghana Job Bank’ in a communiqué copied to Peacefmonline.com.
The launch which will be graced by former President John Agyekum Kufuor will be held at the Accra International Conference Centre on May 3, 2018 under the theme “JOB CREATION: THE ROLE OF GHANA JOB BANK” Other top-notch Information Technology (IT) experts and prominent industrialists who are billed to grace the occasion will also discuss why Ghana is the “BEST PLACE TO MAKE YOUR FIRST MILLION DOLLAR” About Ghana Job Bank Ghana Job Bank is a digital training cohort programme that seeks to create employment opportunities for the youth through technology and technical training. In the estimation of Mr. Ofori Atta, over 50,000 young people will be working by the beginning of 2022 through the initiative. This is because, since former President Kufuor was officially outdoored as Patron of the Job Bank on January 9, 2018 up to date, 1300 people have been employed as Vida Divina affiliates under the Health Sector. Sectors Ghana Job Bank has many sectors but two of them are operational for a start. These are Health and Open Data Platform and Digital Marketing Management (a) Health – A franchise has been secured from Vida Divina, USA, to sell 100% organic products – certified by both the FDAs of the US and Ghana – through a network marketing system. With these organic products, people who patronize them will live healthy and wealthy. They will help the youth in particular, to become financially empowered by selling them (products). (b) Open Data Platform and Digital Marketing Management – The youth are being trained on open data and digital marketing whereby trainees will be capable of using the open data sell and promote the products and other goods and make money. |
