Accra, Ghana (March 11, 2026) – Stars From All Nations (SFAN) celebrated a momentous occasion today, presenting the prestigious Community Leadership Award to Mr. Alan Dwomoh Sarpong, Director and Entrepreneurship Lecturer at Radford University College, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to community development and youth empowerment. The event culminated in the signing of a strategic partnership between SFAN and Radford, aimed at equipping students with cutting-edge artificial intelligence skills and facilitating their entry into the modern workforce.
SFAN’s Community Leadership Award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to community service and have made significant impacts in their spheres of influence. Mr. Sarpong's dedication to mentoring young people and fostering educational opportunities has positioned him as a transformative figure in the community. His visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to social progress embody the values that SFAN seeks to promote and celebrate.


The highlight of the event was the formal signing of a strategic partnership between SFAN and Radford. This collaboration will see the deployment of the ReadyforWork platform, Africa’s human capital development operating system, to Radford students. Through this partnership, students will gain access to comprehensive AI training programs, practical skill development modules, and job placement support services.
The ReadyforWork platform offers a unique opportunity for students to acquire in-demand AI competencies. Beyond technical training, the platform provides career guidance and direct connections to employers seeking AI-capable talent. This end-to-end approach ensures that students not only learn valuable skills but also successfully transition into meaningful employment.


“This partnership represents our commitment to preparing the next generation for the opportunities and challenges of an AI-driven economy,” said Tom-Chris Emewulu, President of Stars From All Nations. “By combining Radford's educational expertise with our community engagement focus, we are creating pathways for young people to thrive in the digital age.”
The event showcased SFAN's ongoing commitment to recognizing community excellence while simultaneously investing in future-ready education. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries globally, initiatives like the SFAN-Radford partnership ensure that students are equipped not just to participate in this transformation but to lead it.
