The conference, which was held last week in Accra at the International Conference Centre, was on the theme “Beyond vision, transformation.”
The honour is in recognition of Alisa’s leadership qualities, professionalism and serving as a role model for the youth through its support for youth development programmes in the country.
The guest of honour was Madam Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister of Tourism, Culture & Creative Arts. Also present was Fiifi Kwetey, Minister of State in Charge of Financial and Allied Institution, and Dr Joyce Aryee, Executive Director, Salt and Light Ministries, who chaired the event.
YPYC is an association of young professionals in different fields of endeavours who are ready to impact the present generation of young professionals through its programmes. The conference aimed at recognising the hard work, professional leadership and excellence of personalities who have excelled in their areas of endeavours and have become role models for other young professionals.
The citation recognising the efforts of the Alisa Hotel emphasised the facility’s quality service delivery and its investment in youth career development programmes which manifest in its entire departments, ranging from youth recruitment to the countless opportunities rolled out for the youth.
“You are an avenue where unpolished skills are enhanced; youth congregate and without inhibition, demonstrate their natural talent for accelerated socioeconomic development which goes a long way to reduce unemployment and gives hands-on training to hundreds of graduates.”
The citation also commended the hotel for its partnership with relevant institutions which provided support for the youth to realise their God-given potential.

Present to receive the award on the hotel’s behalf was the General Manager, Mr Marco Cecchi, who in an interview applauded YPYC for championing the course of youth development. “We are proud to be associated with you because as a hotel, we believe in the youth who are obviously the immediate future leaders, hence the need for us to support them.
Mr Cecchi urged other corporate entities to take keen interest in activities which would assist the youth to achieve their chosen careers, noting that such a move would ensure that competent and reliable individuals took up leadership positions in future for accelerated development.
Honourable Fiifi Kwetey, in his address, charged the youth to come up with creative and innovative ideas for employment creation, instead of relying solely on the government as a producer of employment opportunities.
