Barclays (absa) upgrades its Ready-to-Work platform
Barclays
Bank Ghana, in line with its transition to Absa, has upgraded its Ready-to-Work
elearning platform.
The
look and feel of the Ready-to-Work web portal has also been fully refreshed to
reflect Absa’s new brand and digital focus.
In
the bank’s recent Ready-to-Work engagements with over 500 final year students
from the University of Ghana, Presbyterian University College and Central
University, the participants were introduced to the new portal which is
designed to acquaint them with the possibilities in the world of work for the
youth.
The
Ready-to-Work programme is the bank’s flagship digital learning curriculum
initiative that helps to prepare young people for the transition from school to
the world of work. It empowers young people with the skills they need to
enhance their employment or self-employment prospects.
Speaking
on the new upgraded curriculum and portal at a Ready-to-Work session at the
University of Ghana, the Head of Citizenship at Barclays Ghana, Priscilla
Yeboah said “The enhancement is to improve the functionalities and enrich the
modules with topics such as Emotional Intelligence and Agility, which will give
users insight into these contemporary competencies employers expect from new
hires”.
As
Barclays transitions to Absa by early next year, Mrs. Yeboah indicated that the
bank will deepen its commitment towards supporting the upskilling of the
Ghanaian youth.
