YOTA - Youth Opportunity & Transformation in Africa

18/07/2025

At the DTI Jobs & Opportunities Fair 2025, we had the honour of presenting a copy of the Ghana Youth Barometer Report 2024 to the Minister for Labour, Jobs, and Employment.

The youth-led report highlights the priorities, challenges, and aspirations of young people across Ghana concerning their education and future, offering evidence-based insights to inform inclusive policy and action. We were pleased to engage the Minister in a meaningful discussion on how the findings can shape more responsive youth employment strategies and drive impactful change for Ghana’s next generation.

Today marks 10 years of World Youth Skills Day! 🎉

As AI reshapes how we live, learn, and work, 86% of students say they don’t feel adequately prepared for an AI-enabled workplace. Even more alarming, 90% of adolescent girls and young women in low-income countries remain offline.

This year’s theme, “Youth Empowerment through AI and Digital Skills,” is a powerful call to action. At YOTA, we believe digital inclusion and AI literacy aren’t luxuries, they are essentials for building a future that’s just, inclusive, and sustainable.

Let’s invest in skills. Let’s invest in youth.
