Organised by The Ghana Report, a subsidiary of I-ZAR Group and winner of the Best News Portal of the Year and the Best Portal in Corporate Social Responsibilities at the 25th Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards, The Ghana Report Jobs & Entrepreneurship Fair is an innovative and life-changing programme designed to connect job seekers with employers and empower aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to succeed.
The Ghana Report Jobs & Entrepreneurship Fair marks the second event within the year, after the hugely successful The Ghana Report Summit, which tackled misinformation and disinformation ahead of the crucial 2024 elections on December 7.
The Ghana Report Jobs & Entrepreneurship Fair is part of the many social programmes and solution-based interventions by The Ghana Report.
Meanwhile, the Group Chief Executive of I-ZAR and Chief Executive of The Ghana Report, Rashida Saani, has assured attendees that equal opportunities and job offers will be given to qualified persons based on competence and merit, without protocol or favouritism.
“This fair provides job seekers a unique opportunity to engage directly with potential employers, showcase their talents, and secure merit-based employment, not connections.
“We are committed to ensuring that all recruitment at the fair is free from ‘protocol recruitment’ practices. I repeat, there is zero tolerance for ‘protocol list’ at this fair,” she noted.
