Description

Session 4: Closing the Gender Gap in Technical Trades Moderated by Ing. Bismark Otoo, MEng, BSc, GhIE — Air Traffic Safety Engineer, Ghana Civil Aviation Authority. Speaker: Ms. Nakakande Hadijah — Technical Principal, TVET Expert and Champion for Green Skills, Youth Development and Women's Empowerment. Technical trades remain among the most male-dominated fields on the continent, and the same barriers keep rural youth and persons with disabilities out of the workshop. This session looks at what actually shifts participation, from recruitment and workshop culture to retention and placement, and what training institutions can put in place now. 8 September 2026, 2:00PM (GMT) · 4:00PM (SAST) · 3:00PM (WAT) · 5:00PM (EAT). Duration: 90 minutes.
