Ghana’s first hybrid Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation training program has officially been launched.
The groundbreaking initiative led by the CEO of Onpoint Virtual Assistants, Cory Johnson, and Janine Coogler-Hudson, CEO of Mobi9 Tech, is aimed at preparing young Ghanaians for high-demand global digital careers.
The 12-week pilot, run in partnership with OnPoint Virtual Solutions, began this month and will train Ghanaian students in two of the world’s leading automation platforms, GoHighLevel and Make.com.
The program answers a critical question facing Ghana’s digital economy: How can young people quickly gain skills that match global workforce demands?
Speaking at the launch, Coogler-Hudson said the timing could not be more urgent.
“We are in a moment very similar to the early days of the dot-com boom,” she explained. “AI has reached that turning point where those who position themselves early will become the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.”
The hybrid structure, combining self-paced modules with weekly live review sessions, is designed to combat Ghana’s growing challenge of completion rates in online courses.
According to Coogler-Hudson, the model was intentionally created to close that gap.
“Most AI training programs leave students learning alone,” she said. “Our students get mentorship, accountability, and 24-hour access to certified experts, which ensures they don’t just start the program — they finish it and become globally competitive.”
The initiative also creates a direct pathway to income. Graduates are expected to access remote roles at OnPoint Virtual Assistants with an earning potential of $500 to $6,000+ monthly, aligning with Ghana’s digital jobs agenda.
Coogler-Hudson emphasizes the long-term national impact: “This is not just training, it is economic transformation. We are opening doors to global opportunities that can uplift entire families and communities.”
With plans to scale to over 200 trainees, the program positions Ghana as a future hub for AI-enabled work in West Africa.
