Skills for Progress Africa, ELAF Industrial Automation launch 10 Fellows

The fellowship is being established with ELAF Industrial Automation Limited as its founding technical partner, combining technical training and practical industry exposure with personal, professional and leadership development.

The launch, held at the Accra AI Community Centre (AICC), Google Ghana, saw relevant stakeholders including industry leaders, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) practitioners, policymakers and development-sector representatives converge to examine how Africa can better prepare its technical talent for the demands of industry.

As they progress through the fellowship, the Fellows expect the combination of technical training, mentorship, workplace exposure and professional development to strengthen their employability and open pathways into careers where they can make a meaningful contribution to industry.
