How can students and partners get on board?

Students must register for the SGPP. At the end of the one month’s training, students must take an examination to qualify for the Stellar Graduate Certificate, which entitles them to be admitted into The Skills Bank.

Thereafter, the Partner is, at any time, free to provide to the SRN a Needs Listing of the Stellar Graduates it seeks.
How much does it cost for potential partners to come on board?
Except for a small, one-time registration fee, access to the services of the SRN is free of charge to the Partners.

How different are you from other institutions?
The SRN is neither a recruitment agency nor a training institute. Rather as mentioned earlier, it is a non-profit organization that aims at providing links between its partners who are mainly corporate entities on one hand and qualified students that have been trained to join a repository of skilled resources called the Skills Bank.
What is the Skills Resource Network (SRN)?
The Skills Resource Network (SRN) is a unique non-profit organization created in 2009 to prepare graduates for the world of work through specialist training that exposes them to the benefits of a more alert and critical business mind.
For employers, the SRN provides a ready pool of Stellar Graduates who are trained to hit the ground running in any job for which they are hired.
For students, the SRN offers the opportunity to be suitably matched with an employer that seeks value-added staff to work as interns, temporary and permanent employees.
Ultimately, the key objective of the SRN is to support the Government of Ghana in its drive to reduce the level of unemployment among qualified youth in Ghana.
