The Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) has partnered with KonneKt World for the express purpose of training female STEM graduates under the Ghana Power Compact Internship and Mentoring Program as well as National Service Persons in the Energy Sector.

This is in line with MiDA’s commitment to providing training, particularly for female graduates, in the skills required for entering the job market. The training program which is being delivered to 100 graduates within a two-week period began on Monday, March 8, 2021, International Women Day, and is expected to end on Friday, March 19, 2021.

The training is focused on how these recent graduates will launch their careers, in areas such as Self-Leadership and Leading others, how to conduct a job search, prepare winning Curriculum Vitae (CV) to highlight their talents, cover letters, coaching for Interviews, and building professional networks for job opportunities as well as entrepreneurship, highlighting the entire process of creating a start-up business from an idea to developing a business plan to look for funding.

“We are happy with this partnership with KonneKt World, which is consistent with our objective supporting female students in STEM fields to gain practical skills relevant for the job market in the energy sector, build their confidence, and improve their coping skills to deal with the stereotypes and negative attitudes about women in STEM; as well as strengthen networking for employment opportunities”, a statement from the leadership of MiDA.

Phyllis Kuenyehia, the CEO of KonneKt World, and Human Capital and Workforce Development Strategist said, these young female STEM graduates, through KonneKt, have found the right power source to push them to the ultimate in their careers. She believes that “the power of a woman lies strongly in her connection to the right power source, one that empowers her to explore all existing opportunities for growth”.
