Stars From All Nations (SFAN), a Ghana-based ed-tech company, has announced a strategic grant partnership with the British Council Ghana to empower 100 creative entrepreneurs by providing them with essential business and enterprise skills.
SFAN, an innovative ed-tech company, is dedicated to empowering African youth by helping them transform their passions into sustainable businesses and careers. Its flagship platform, ReadyforWork, leverages AI and machine learning to deliver in-demand digital skills training and facilitate employment matching for young professionals.
Beyond training, Stars From All Nations also provides on-demand business services—such as website development and brand strategy—to support entrepreneurs in building strong foundations for their ventures. This new partnership with the British Council aligns with its broader mission to foster creative enterprise development across Sub-Saharan Africa. The British Council’s Creative Economy Programme aims to equip over 100,000 creatives in the region with the skills needed to build thriving businesses within the creative industries.
Tom-Chris Emewulu, founder and president of SFAN, stated:
We are delighted to partner with the British Council Ghana on this vital initiative. At SFAN, we firmly believe that young people are smart, and when given the right skills and opportunities to engage with the real world, magic happens. The SoCreative Learning Programme perfectly aligns with our mission of equipping Africa’s youth with tools and opportunities to build fulfilling, sustainable careers. I’ve taken the course myself and can confidently say it’s highly relevant for every creative, regardless of experience level.
Echoing this commitment, Paul Kweku Akrofie, SSA Regional Programme Lead at the British Council, stated:
At the British Council, we are committed to building the business and entrepreneurial skills of creative entrepreneurs across the creative industries. Through our Creative Economy programmes, we have supported creatives and creative organisations to develop sustainable businesses, access new markets, and strengthen long-term careers.
He added:
The SoCreative Learning Programme was designed to increase access to world-class enterprise skills training through flexible, hybrid learning that is locally grounded and globally informed. The courses were developed by leading institutions and partners, including the University of Arts London, Henley Business School, Belle and Co, Afrinolly, and feature case studies from across the continent. We are pleased to collaborate with organisations like SFAN that are delivering these courses to creatives on the ground, strengthening their communities and supporting the growth of creative entrepreneurs in Ghana and beyond.
Applications for the first batch of the programme are open here until January 30.
