The event, which is scheduled for 8th July 2020, will be held online and will be accessible to jobseekers with access to internet via computers, smart phones and devices.

The Ghana Virtual Career Fair 2020 seeks to complement the efforts of the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations and the Government of Ghana at promoting employability and entrepreneurship among the Ghanaian youth and to explore the potential opportunities emerging after the Coronavirus pandemic.

The fair is aimed at orienting job seekers on coping strategies in the current economic context, exposing the job opportunities that the so-called “gig economy” present as well as equipping employees and job seekers with the needed IT, digital and employability skills to excel on the job. The event will also seek to promote entrepreneurship and digitalization as innovative alternatives to sustainable employment.
