The Africa Mentor Network, (www.africamentor.org,) a youth development-oriented organisation, is launching a speed networking roundtable in Accra. The “Speed Networking Roundtable” aims to bring together top executives of companies in Ghana with the African youth. “Many African youth have very innovative ideas and exceptional resumes and are looking for that one opportunity to put their best foot forward,” a statement issued by Africa Mentor Network said. It stressed that the programme is designed to help young people “looking to pitch their big ideas as well as sell their exceptional resumes directly to corporate executives (and who) would never get to meet these corporate executives on a regular day or possibly in their lifetime.” The statement said the event will give youth “participants a face-to-face chance to impress these executives and also network with them. This could open a great door of opportunity for them. Participants could get hired instantly, win a second interview, have their ideas adopted and more importantly establish long-term relationships.” Organizers of the event want young talented persons in Ghana to take advantage of the roundtable discussion scheduled for August 12, 2009 at the African Regent Hotel.
