Pre-MEST is a digital skills training program launched by MEST in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation and their Young Africa Works strategy. The aim of the program is to address the significant gap between the number of young people across Ghana seeking work and the limited employment opportunities available to them.
Combining hands-on learning with real-work experience, the 12-week program offers free training to young people living in Ghana helping them acquire the skills needed to launch careers in Software Development, as Junior Full Stack Developers, Digital Marketing, specializing in Content Creation and Analytics or become Software Technology Entrepreneurs.
The next cohort of the program will specialize in Digital Marketing. Training will take place at four partner hubs in Ghana. Over the 12-weeks, participants will spend 8-weeks being trained and 4-weeks in paid internships to gain relevant work experience as well as skills acquisition.
