Ebenezer Terkpeh, Education Portfolio Advisor at MTN Ghana, emphasized the importance of digital skills in today's world. He noted that MTN Ghana had transitioned from a telephone company to a technology company, and as such, there was a need for employees with specific skills. He stressed that the company's future depended on empowering young people with digital skills, and that the MTN Skills Academy platform was a key initiative in this regard. The platform, which was a partnership with Coursera, offered a range of digital skills courses, from basic to advanced level, and provided certificates from top universities such as the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. Mr. Terkpeh also highlighted the career guidance platform, which provided a career pathway and recommended universities and courses based on a user's interests.

The MTN Ghana Foundation, which is the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) wing of MTN Ghana, has implemented various initiatives to support education and economic empowerment in the country.
