The Ghana Education Service (GES) has initiated the National Entrepreneurship Programme for Senior High Schools (NEP-SHS). This program is designed to equip students with practical entrepreneurial skills, preparing them for self-employment upon completing their education.
The NEP-SHS is being introduced in partnership with Procus Ghana Limited, the parent company of KIVO Foods. The collaboration aims to nurture an entrepreneurial spirit among Ghanaian youth, fostering a generation of job creators rather than job seekers.
This initiative reflects a growing emphasis on vocational and practical training within Ghana's education system, seeking to bridge the gap between academic learning and the demands of the modern job market. By providing students with essential business acumen and skills, the program intends to enhance their employability and contribute to the nation's economic development.
