Disclosing this in Lagos, the Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, TRACE, Oliver Laouchez, described the initiative as a corporate social responsibility aimed at educating and empowering 60 youth from Nigeria and Ghana yearly in their journey to become industry leaders. x“The focus is to give the youths a chance to share their perspectives on a wide range of issues affecting their generation while they have some fun. They will be empowered with the resources and guidelines on social media and entertainment, while they produce a project of their own choice,” Laouchez said. He explained that in addition to having an experience to add to their curriculum vitae, the youths would be recognised as Trace Ambassadors. Also announcing the launch of the TRACE Academia, the Managing Director, TRACE Anglophone West Africa, Sam Onyemelukwe, said that it was a free vocational training app for e-learning, which is focused on addressing massive youth unemployment on the continent.
