When the COVID-19 pandemic struck and jobs were lost, many young people had to find alternative ways to make a living.
One of such people was Araba Quagraine a graduate from the University of Ghana who could not find a decent job after being laid off.
Taking her turn on GhanaWeb TV BizTech, Araba shared her journey of venturing into shoemaking - a trade which has become profitable and earns her some fulfilment.
Araba explained that although she had no prior knowledge of making shoes, her determination and desire to make ends meet forced her to learn the trade on her own.
She currently provides various types of shoes and slippers for a wide range of customers.
The full interviews air on Friday, July 22 on GhanaWeb TV.
