AGA Obuasi Mine, in partnership with GhIE-WInE, Underground Mining Alliance (UMA), and SGS, has inspired female students of Asare Bediako Senior High School to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) as part of International Day for Women and Girls in Science celebrations.
The empowerment session aimed to encourage young girls to develop interest in STEM disciplines and expose them to diverse career opportunities. Industry professionals and mentors shared their experiences, challenging students to overcome stereotypes and pursue careers in science and engineering.
Ing. Nana Yaw Nti Owusu-Adanse, Engineering Manager at AGA Obuasi Mine, encouraged students to take advantage of STEM education and strive for excellence. “Opportunities in STEM are vast and transformative. You must prepare yourselves, build competence, and compete confidently alongside your male counterparts,” he advised.
The event launched a Mentorship Programme for Girls in Science, providing structured guidance and support to female students pursuing STEM-related subjects.
The initiative aims to contribute to bridging the gender gap in science and technology fields.
