The Springboard Road Show 2025 brought its signature energy and inspiration to the Wa Technical Institute, drawing hundreds of young people, traditional leaders, and key stakeholders from across the Upper West Region.
Now in its most ambitious edition yet, the Road Show is touring all 16 regions of Ghana with a target reach of more than 500,000 participants, including young women, young men, and persons with disabilities. Already, the stops in Bolgatanga, Walewale, and Tamale have generated widespread excitement, attracting entrepreneurs, students, and community leaders eager to tap into opportunities for growth and empowerment.
In Wa, the presence of Chiefs, Opinion Leaders, and the children of the esteemed Yaa Naa symbolized the strong cultural endorsement for investing in the next generation.
With agriculture and ATVET (agriculture, agribusiness, and technical and vocational education and training) as central themes, community leaders pledged their continued support to ensure that young people have access to leadership, skills, and enterprise opportunities.
The gathering was further enriched by the participation of the Hon. Municipal Chief Executive, Alhaji Issah Nurah Danwanaa, who underscored agriculture’s pivotal role in Ghana’s economic growth. He emphasized government’s commitment to revitalizing Planting for Food and Jobs Phase II, scaling up youth-in-agriculture initiatives, and strengthening TVET reforms to better align training with industry and agribusiness demand.
“Together, let us drive agriculture and ATVET as the engines of youth and women empowerment for regional development,” Hon. Danwanaa declared.
As the Springboard Road Show 2025 continues its journey nationwide, it is fast becoming more than an event, it is a movement of inclusion, innovation, and transformation.
With the active involvement of traditional authorities, government, the private sector, and development partners, the Road Show is cultivating a new generation of changemakers, young people equipped with skills, confidence, and purpose to transform their communities and industries.
