Agri-Impact Limited has announced a partnership with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to deliver accredited short courses focused on equipping young people with practical skills for the job market.

Deputy CEO of Agri-Impact, Mrs. Juliana Asante-Dartey, disclosed the collaboration at the company’s Dinner and Awards Night, which climaxed the week-long Wrap-Up of the Young Agribusiness Professionals Program (YAPP).

Public and private sector firms have been urged to stop assigning national service personnel (NSPs) menial tasks and instead provide them with the skills, mentorship and hands-on training they need to contribute meaningfully to national development.

The call was made by Daniel Fahene Acquaye, Group Chief Executive Officer of Agri-Impact Limited, who warned that the country risks weakening its human capital potential if companies continue to overlook the value of young graduates entering the workforce.

The world of agriculture is changing, with technology, sustainability, and youth empowerment now at its core. 
Spearheading this transformation is the E-HAPPY Project, a collaboration between Mastercard Foundation and Agri Impact Limited, with KNUST E-Learning Centre and iSchool Consult as implementing partners, now in its second cohort. 

Through programs such as E-Agripreneur, Happy Tech Ambassadors, and COFED training, Cohort 2 participants are being equipped with the skills and resources to bring innovation to their local communities.
