MTN Ghana trains Accra College students and teachers

MTN Ghana Foundation, has undertaken an Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Public Speaking training programme at the Accra College of Education (AcCE) for the teachers and students.

Mrs Georgina Fiagbenu, Corporate Communications Senior Manager of the Foundation, said the training followed a request made by the College to improve the skills of the teachers in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, whilst the students were exposed to the skills of public speaking.

Mrs Fiagbenu said the training was part of the Foundation’s programme dubbed: “21 days of MTN Yello Care,” which takes place annually from June 1-June 21 to enable employers to volunteer their services in communities to touch lives.

She said the programme was aimed at empowering the teachers to take advantage of the digital trend.

“MTN is leading in the bold digital world, and what we know is that you can use the digital resources you have to improve upon your work which also includes teaching,” she said.

Mrs Fiagbenu noted that the next plan of the Foundation is to invest more in the communities just as it is necessary for business minded people to invest profit into their businesses.

Mr Clement Afriyie Oppong, Special Assistant to the Principal of the College expressed the gratitude of the academic entity to the Foundation for honouring the request for the training.

He said educating the students in organisational customer care and leadership skills in addition to public speaking would be useful to them.

Mr Oppong said the College is also grateful to the Foundation for installing five computers with internet access to enhance research and data gathering.
