Detailed Plan
Detailed Program:
Executive Summary:
This proposal seeks to educate about 300 teens [(16 to 25 years) in the Eastern Region part of Ghana; the teens will be Senior High School students of between 16 and 19 and Tertiary students of between 19 and 25 years] in Cardano Block chain and the numerous opportunities in Cardano. This engagement with the teen youth will grow Cardano Block chain.
About 60% of high school and tertiary institution graduates in Ghana do not find jobs after completing their education. This challenge has put a lot of pressure on parents in particular and the government as a whole. Almost 90% of school graduates look up to the government for employment which does not exist.
To empower these school graduates to set up their own businesses, there is the need to help them develop skills that will make them independent. Cardano block chain technology can offer this help to the youth through education so they can tap into their talents and develop smart contracts that will propel them into economic freedom.
