MTN Ghana Advances Its Mission To Boost Female Representation Through Its 2025 Graduate Development Programme

 MTN Ghana has successfully graduated 80 young professionals from its 2025 Graduate Development Program, an initiative designed by the telecommunications company to promote the inclusion of women in the business.

The graduation ceremony, held on November 20, 2025, at the Marriott Hotel in Accra, brought together participants from across MTN’s African markets. Abdallah Ibrahim, the Acting Chief Human Resource Officer for MTN Ghana, emphasized MTN’s intentional strategy to increase the number of women in its workforce.

“We have leveraged the Graduate Development Programme to drive female representation within the company. About 60% of the graduate delegates are women and a key initiative in our quest to reach 50% female representation by 2030,” he stated.

Abdallah confirmed that this intentional approach is already transforming the organization, highlighting the notable increase in the overall representation of women in recent years. “Since we began this journey to increase female representation at MTN Ghana, we have added approximately 5% more females to the workforce since we started monitoring our progress in 2020. Today, we stand at about 43% representation of females within our organization,” he said.

Sylvia Owusu-Ankomah, Chief Executive Officer of the Telecoms Chamber, commended MTN for its dedication to developing African talent, especially the large number of women in the graduating class, in her keynote speech.

It’s exciting to see that over 60% of today’s graduates are women,” she commented, urging the graduates to stay true to themselves in a competitive digital age.

Kagiso Malepe, Manager of the MTN Global Graduate Programme, explained that one of the main challenges and opportunities is bringing together individuals from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds under a common identity. “Our biggest task is harmonizing diverse perspectives and helping participants immerse themselves in MTN’s organizational culture. With MTN operating across multiple markets, the message of one culture, one MTN is fundamental,” he said.

The 80 graduates, representing 18 countries across Africa, received certificates and are expected to take roles within MTN that support MTN’s goal of developing future African leaders in technology, digital services, and business innovation.
