MargKen Beads And Clothing Training Centre

"Did you know that 80% of youth in Ghana face limited access to practical vocational training, leaving them ill-prepared for the job market? At MargKen, we’re transforming this narrative by equipping young people with the skills to thrive in today’s economy."

INDUSTRALIZING UNDERPRIVILLAGED WOMEN AND YOUTH IN OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES TO CREATE JOB OPPORTUNIES FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS, REGARDLESS OF AGE, S*X, SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, ETHNIC ORIGIN, RACE, RELIGION OR DISABILITY.

Margken Beads & Clothing was privileged to be invited to a 2-week working session by The Commission of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) to develop Occupational Standards in Jewellery and Beading at the Higher National Diploma (H.N.D) Level.

My team (Jewellery and Beading), was tasked to develop a curriculum or a model that will not only suit the Ghanaian culture but also industrialize Ghanaian youth and offer them the platform to create job opportunities for themselves and others.
The curriculum is due for validation and MargKen Beads & Clothing is grateful to COTVET for their recognition of our contribution to the Beading industry in Ghana.
