At the signing event, the Executive Director for Springboard Road Show Foundation, Comfort Ocran, said through the Ghana Grows Programme, her outfit is committed to empowering young people with not just technical expertise but also business and entrepreneurial skills.
She explained that the partnership with GHABA is an opportunity to extend the impact in the vocational sector and ensure that hairdressers and beauticians have the necessary tools to succeed in today’s evolving market.
