International renowned Essential “soft skills” training and mindset development firm, ‘I am Worth It Project’ (IAWI), has trained the leadership of National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) in Skyplus hotel in Ho, Volta Region as part of the 13th annual NASPA mini congress.
The company has over 30 years of combined experience in business, leadership, and training proprietary methods of teaching essential soft skills, mindset, and personal development.
Eighty (80) NASPA leaders were introduced to concepts such developing a growth mindset, engaged leadership, time management, action taking, solution thinking, and teamwork.
Addressing participants and the media, the lead trainer and CEO, Tammy Sherger who is an Entrepreneur, Author, TEDx Speaker, mentor, life and business strategist said research shows that 85% of a person’s success comes from their expertise in essential soft skills training and mindset development.
Tammy Sherger said the IAWIP has recognized that consideration of mindset, beliefs and attitudes, personal development, and self-esteem have been overlooked in education and training in Ghana even though such essential or “soft skills” training and mindset development is an integral piece of the puzzle to help solve youth unemployment.
Studies by the World Bank and International Labour Organization (ILO) shows that “young people in Ghana do not have skills required by employers. Initiatives such as TVET curriculum reform, apprenticeships and in-service training have attempted to address technical skills shortcomings”, she quoted.
She added that the Success Degree Program is a solution that can easily be embedded into existing work skills and entrepreneurial training programs which will significantly impact the success ration of the students involved in hard skills programs.
The President of National Service Personnel Association (NASPA), Emmanuel Wit Duncan Agbogah assured “all National Service Personnel across the country that, they, as leadership of the Association will do all that they can to make sure that they will all have access to this life changing training program”.
