The Heritage and Cultural Society of Africa (HACSA) Foundation has graduated the second cohort of its Tech-for-Girls programme, an ICT skills development and entrepreneurial training initiative designed to empower underprivileged girls and young women. The 12-week programme, provides free training in ICT, coding, and Artificial Intelligence, aiming to prepare girls for careers in science and technology-related fields. In addition to technical skills, the programme also equips beneficiaries with essential soft skills, including marketing, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, and leadership, with the ultimate of enabling young women to harness their talents in ICT to create jobs and contribute to society, rather than pursuing limited white-collar opportunities. Mrs. Johanna Odonkor Svanikier, Founder and President of the HACSA Foundation, commended the graduating students for their "resilience and relentless pursuit of knowledge and skills" and urged them to apply their newfound expertise to solve societal challenges.
