MiDA CONCLUDES VIRTUAL CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOPS FOR INTERNS
The Millennium Development Authority’s Gender and Social Inclusion (GSI) Directorate has concluded a two-week Capacity Building Workshop for Students enrolled in the Ghana Power Compact’s Internship and Mentoring Program (GPCIMP).
One hundred and eighty young females undertaking courses in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in various Tertiary and Second cycle Institutions, participated in the virtual Workshops.
According to Dr Cherub Antwi-Nsiah, Director for GSI at MiDA, “the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted activities planned for placements and in-person Orientation Workshops for Students in 2020. The GSI Directorate, therefore, decided to meet their objectives by organizing a number of virtual Capacity Building Workshops for the Students, to allow them to gain the knowledge and necessary skills that will prepare them for future work placements and their personal development.”
The GPCIMP, an activity under the Ghana Power Compact Program, funded by the United States Government through its Agency, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), provides young Ghanaian females in STEM Programs, with training, technical know-how and practical skills that will facilitate their recruitment into jobs in the Energy Sector and allow them to pursue careers in their chosen STEM fields.
Topics covered during the Capacity Building Workshops were:- Personality Style and Career Planning, Leadership Skills, Sexual Harassment, Mentorship, Communication, Workplace Environment and Human Resource Issues.
MiDA started the two-month Internship and Mentoring Program with 50 Interns in 2018. Since then, the Program has supported over 400 female Students with workplace internships during their long vacation, in private and public sector Institutions, who operate in the STEM field.
The Program also enables the Interns to participate in and benefit from Mentoring Sessions led by resource persons drawn from the Women in Engineering (WinE) Group of the Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE), the Women in STEM Ghana (WiSTEMGH) Group of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences.
