A two-day programme for precision quality education and entertainment put on by the Design & Technology Institute has benefitted 372 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from the Agbogbloshie Timber Market and the Makola Markets (DTI).
The drama/educational piece "Joe Sharp" depicts the life, work, accomplishments, and disappointments of expert craftspeople. It also explores how they relate to their consumers and how precision principles might improve that connection.
Operators in the informal sector who have tremendous talents and potential but need to be refined in order to produce high-quality goods and services might be trained in a novel method using precision quality education.
DTI hopes to strengthen the work habits and skills of 1,000 SMEs and 5,000 master craftspeople through the drama series. The training is a component of DTI's plan to use a multiplier approach and three million young people—particularly women—to allow them to access chances for respectable and rewarding employment by 2030.
The current drama series-based training is part of the "Transforming youth TVET livelihood for sustainable jobs" project in collaboration with the "Young Africa Work (YAW) Strategy" of the Mastercard Foundation, which aims to establish 40,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities for young people, particularly young women, through TVET in Ghana.
Constance Swaniker, the founder and CEO of DTI, advised the SMEs to embrace the precise quality principles to create standardised goods and services in order to be competitive in the market, particularly with the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
"Africa has consolidated into a single market, facilitating commerce between its nations. Businesses in Ghana may only prosper and expand if the products they create satisfy the highest standards of quality. The assurance to do it is precision quality, the speaker stated.
She gave the Greater Accra Markets Association President the responsibility of seeing that those who received the training adopted precise quality in their work so that they could create goods and services that met international standards and land well-paying employment.
