The newly recruited executives of the Young Agripreneurs Forum at Takoradi Technical University (YAF-TTU) kicked off their tenure with a weeklong awareness campaign from February 10 to 14.
This initiative was designed to raise awareness about YAF with a membership and recruitment drive campaign.
The event began with a mini fundraising activity, supported by the university's technical team, which mobilised resources to ensure the program's success.
Through strategic hall-to-hall interactions, the team engaged with students, educating them about YAF’s vision, programs, and the opportunities it offers its members.
These engagements not only created significant buzz on campus but also allowed the team to gather valuable data on potential members.
For many first-year college students, it was an opportunity to learn about YAF first-hand, with the majority expressing a strong willingness to become active members of the forum.
This remarkable campaign marked a promising start for the new executives in positioning YAF-TTU as a vibrant platform for young agripreneurs.
YAF is a student-led interactive forum where tertiary students can share and exchange ideas, interests and engage in activities pertaining to agriculture.
YAF provides capacity building and practical skills training for students, invests in changing the mindset and perceptions of young people and positions agripreneurship as an exciting career of choice.
YAF is an initiative of KIC in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation.
Some activities of the forum include Volunteer Day, Food Processing, and Industrial farm visits among others.
Through exposure to these events, young people are beginning to realise the opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment within the agricultural sector.
