FASHION AND BEAUTY
By ETHICAL FASHION INITIATIVE | 2 weeks ago
Access to technology is changing the game for a new generation of young African entrepreneurs, and the creative economy provides exciting opportunities on the continent.
But with young people making up 60% of Africa’s unemployed, how can they overcome career challenges and harness digital connectivity to get ahead? And what skills and qualities are companies looking for in potential young employees today?
This episode is guest hosted by Roberta Annan, impact investor and founder of the African Fashion Foundation. She is in conversation with Patricia Obo-Nai, Chief Executive Officer of Vodafone Ghana.
They discuss mentoring new gen talent, the importance of digital and financial literacy, women in leadership, their own career paths to becoming prominent female business leaders in Ghana, and strategies for emerging creative entrepreneurs in the digital era.
