Building young people’s capacity to industrialize rural Ghana
The Agribusiness Apprenticeship Center (AAC)
We social enterprise that is poised to transform local communities by building from the base through the utilization of local resources. AAC aims to reduce poverty and unemployment primarily among the youth in Ghana by budling their capacities in diverse areas of agribusiness and helping them set up cottage-based industries for the local, national and export markets.
The Agribusiness Apprenticeship Center seeks to build the capacities of secondary educated students in specific agribusiness sectors and set them up as small businesses in their locality. AAC aims at promoting partnerships among trainees and would encourage participants of the training to set up businesses together.
The Center will thus serve as an incubation hub with a focus on nurturing these enterprises which have a high potential for growth to become competitive agribusinesses by serving, adding value to, or linking to farm producers. This will be done using well designed curriculum with a focus on both theoretical and practical studies. Serving as an incubation hub, the center will further facilitate the growth of these businesses through the provision of a combination of services, such as shared facilities and equipment, business development, technology, finance, mentoring and networking.
