Jobberman Ghana, the foremost company specializing in career development, job placement, and recruitment solutions in the country, is delighted to announce its collaboration with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to introduce the "M-Fit Project - Matchmaking of Females in Tech."

With the goal of narrowing the gender gap in the technology sector, this project aims to empower and equip young women possessing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) backgrounds with crucial soft skills, thereby enhancing their employability in the tech industry.

Hilda Nimo-Tieku, the CEO of Jobberman Ghana, explained that the "M-Fit Project" represents a comprehensive initiative designed to provide training to a minimum of 100 young women aged 18 to 35 with STEM backgrounds in employability soft skills.

Subsequently, these women will be placed in suitable tech-related positions within Ghana.

In today's rapidly evolving world, the technology sector offers promises of innovation, growth, and boundless opportunities. Nonetheless, women continue to be significantly underrepresented in this field.

Recognizing this disparity, Invest for Jobs, an initiative backed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and executed by GIZ, among others, has chosen to collaborate with Jobberman Ghana to address this gap and foster a more inclusive tech landscape.

“My team is currently undertaking field research to identify the primary reasons for the low participation of women in the tech sector and the specific soft skills that females with a STEM background need to excel in the world of work. The outcome of this research will inform us of the training programmes these 100 women will receive over four weeks. As a recruitment and talent management company, the M-Fit Project aligns perfectly with our mission to connect qualified job seekers with opportunities and transform lives”, Hilda Nimo-Tieku explained.

By placing 60 women with STEM-related backgrounds in relevant IT professions until the start of 2024, this project aims to take a first step toward improving female employability in STEM.

Through GIZ, Jobberman Ghana and BMZ have the potential to have a revolutionary effect on the tech sector that will empower young women and move them toward a better future.
