Baobab Academy

Baobab Academy Entrepreneurship and Career Development Centre that provides Ghanaian youth with knowledge, capacity

The Baobab Academy was established in October 2003 after the series of interactions with the Ministry of Manpower, Youth and Employment, the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Labour Commission, the National Youth Council and a number of technical and vocational schools. The findings from these interactions informed the decision for the Baobab Academy project. The Baobab Academy therefore is an Entr

epreneurship and Management Development Centre that provides unemployed Ghanaian youth with knowledge, capacity and instruments to start their own business and become self employed. Focusing on entrepreneurship and management development, the curricula of the Baobab Academy has been structured with a uniform integration of classroom studies and practical hands-on training. Beneficiaries of the Academy are taken through an eight (8) months intensive training in four elective modules:

• Entrepreneurship
• Integrated DBS Studies
• Technical/Vocational Training
• Information & Communications Studies. At the end of the professional training, each student is required to prepare a project related to his/her specialisation. The project is examined by a Committee of Experts and if it is well structured and feasible, a micro-credit facility is granted for a period of 1-3 years. As at December 2009, 366 students have been trained by the Baobab Academy. Of this figure; 137 students (37%) have established their own enterprises; 124 students (34%) have completed favourably on the job market to acquire jobs while 105 students (29%) have found it necessary to further their studies after the training.
