Developing skills for the future of work

SFAN's Quality Education Agenda
Market-Aligned Curriculum
A market-aligned curriculum means students learn from industry practitioners and not individuals that never practiced what they’re teaching in real life.
Project-Based Learning
The project-based learning framework allows learners to solve real business problems for real companies, not made-up case studies with zero accountability.
Personalized Education
Personalized education helps learners access tailored materials that meet their career needs where they are and track their progress with actual data.
Ongoing Support
With the community support and job pipeline, ReadyforWork learners get tools, services, and support systems they need to turbocharge their careers.
I, personally, have been developing an external interest in working with young job-seekers in Ghana to develop their personal skills to be able to effectively ‘sell’ themselves to the job market. It is my own opinion that young people in Ghana today, especially young women, are not adequately equipped with the necessary confidence, initiative and communication skills to be able to effectively determine what they want to change in their lives and to go about using such skills to get into the workplace. I realise from looking at SFAN's website that your work is very closely linked to this."

Helping Early-career Professionals Future-proof Their Careers
Kezia Owusu is one of the beneficiaries of ReadyforWork cohort 4. Kezia realized a need to upskill and future-proof her career, so she joined the digital marketing track. At ReadyforWork, she learned how to tie her 12 years of experience in arts and media together and improve relevant digital marketing skills, giving her a promotion at her current workplace and landing a new role.
