The European Union (EU) Delegation in Ghana funded Resilience Against Climate Change – Social Transformation Research and Policy Advocacy (REACH-STR) project, led by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), organised a career guidance and counselling training for its student scholarship beneficiaries. The training, which took place on 23rd and 24th May at the Peace Holiday Resort at Ada, is associated with this year’s EU Day celebration themed, ‘Youth and Skills’.
The scholarship beneficiaries of REACH-STR, made up of both Masters and PhD students (i.e., 11 males and 8 females) from University of Ghana – Centre for Migration Studies (UG-CMS), Legon (i.e., 4 males and 5 females) and Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS) [i.e., 7 males and 3 females] were present to undergo the training.
On the first day, the students received expert training on personality and career path development, work culture, and Curriculum Vitae (CV) restructuring and interview grooming. The students were taught to choose career paths based on their personality types, to enable them to be efficient and productive at the workplace. They were advised to let their academic work help solve societal problems.
