IT For Youth Ghana is a nonprofit organization dedicated to equipping young people, especially women, with essential technology skills. Through hands-on training in coding, data analytics, and digital tools, we empower the next generation for careers in tech. Our initiatives bridge the digital divide, foster innovation, and create pathways to employment and entrepreneurship.
The Challenge
In Ghana, access to quality technology education is limited, particularly for students in underserved communities. Many young girls remain confined to traditional roles, unaware of the vast opportunities in tech, while students from disadvantaged backgrounds lack the resources to compete in the digital economy.
Did You Know?
Limited Access
Only 30% of students in Ghana have access to technology education.
Gender Gap in Tech:
Fewer than 20% of young women pursue careers in tech-related fields.
Skills Shortage
A World Economic Forum report reveals that 60% of companies in Ghana report a shortage of skilled workers in tech-related fields.
Rising Demand
Ghana has only 15,000 tech professionals, despite demand for skilled talent increasing at a rate of 20% annually.
WHAT WE DO
At IT For Youth Ghana, we provide cutting-edge tech training programs to empower young people, with a focus on women and underserved communities. Our initiatives include hands-on coding workshops, data analytics training, digital skills development, and career mentorship. We bridge the gap between education and employment by connecting trainees to job opportunities, internships, and entrepreneurial support. Through advocacy and infrastructure support, we are shaping the future of Ghana’s digital workforce.
