Ghana: Successful launch of the new BINA project in Ashaiman

With the PartnerAfrika project, bfz supports disadvantaged young people in Ghana in training and integration into the local labor market. To this end, bfz works together with the local Don Bosco school in Ashaiman / Tema near the capital Accra. The project is carried out in cooperation with sequa and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) under the special initiative Training and Employment.

On September 1, 2019 the BINA Ghana project was launched. The BINA program, which has already been successfully implemented by bfz in numerous countries, comprises of three phases. In the first phase, the skills of the students are determined in profiling workshops as part of a career orientation phase. The first profiling train-the-trainer workshops with bfz experts already took place in mid-October in the Don Bosco partner school. Since the end of October, local trainers have been using their newly acquired profiling skills by examining the first students regarding their social and professional skills. In the second phase, these students can then choose, a career preparation course in five occupational fields based on their profiling process results. After successful completion of the course, in the third phase, the participants will finally be supported on entering the local labor market, with the aim to get further training in a local company. With the BINA Ghana project, a total of 1,500 disadvantaged young people are supposed to receive a career preparation course by 30.11.2022.
