The Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations (GFD) has successfully conducted assessment sessions for young persons with disabilities vying for spots in the 2025 cohort of the We Can Work Academy. The assessments were held in the Greater Accra and Eastern regions, evaluating applicants’ availability, vocational experience, and readiness to engage with the Academy’s programs.
The We Can Work Academy is a flagship initiative designed to equip young persons with disabilities with skills and confidence to thrive in the world of work. The program offers life skills development, job readiness training, entrepreneurship, and technical education, while fostering leadership and advocacy among youth with disabilities.
The initiative is in partnership with Light for the World and the African Disability Forum, aligning with the Mastercard Foundation’s Young Africa Works strategy to ensure disability inclusion in employment and training opportunities.
