Planet One Education Solutions

Ghana has experienced an increasing emigration of capable workers, draining the country of its skilled workforce. Developmental disparities also continue to drive Ghanaians from the north to the south, particularly to its urban centres.

Combined with an inadequate skilling infrastructure and a gap in the demand supply of skilled manpower, this had resulted in low numbers of qualified workers being available, a significant problem for Ghanaian industry.

Acknowledging the need to reform the education sector, the Ministry of Education, Ghana partnered with Planet One to in 2019 to upgraded and transformed National Vocational Training Institutes (NVTIs). Planet One’s interventions resulted in doubling the capacities across NVTIs with modern infrastructure, well-equipped industrial workshops, industry-aligned curriculum and content across 26 trades, nation-wide training of trainers and provision of technology-led education delivery. Today Ghana has a more industry-oriented and skilled workforce that will help the economy to grow at a much faster pace.

Planet One successfully completed the project in 2022 - a remarkable achievement despite the pandemic.

To sustain the growth of its economy, the Government of Ghana recognized the pivotal role of education to emerge from a weather and market-dependent agricultural economy to a self-sustainable, semi-industrial one.

Significant investments in the TVET sector have therefore been made, strengthening the educational institutions which are critical drivers for Ghana’s industrialisation plans.

After the successful implementation of the National Vocational Training Institutes (NVTIs) project, the Government of Ghana has once again chosen Planet One Group as partner for this prestigious project to develop 32 state-of-the-art Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) Centres.

Focusing on generating a sustainable source of skilled workforce to meet industry demands, this landmark project will have a significant socio-economic impact on Ghana.

The project offers skill programmes for more than 33 trades from 11 different sectors, including Agriculture, Automobile, Construction, Information Technology, Creative Arts, Electrical Engineering, Hospitality and Tourism, Beauty and Healthcare, and Mechanical Engineering. The project is expected to add a yearly training capacity of more than 8,700 training aspirants and create a pool of 40,000 job-ready youngsters by 2024.
