The fair, which involved exhibition of products, panel discussion, speed mentoring, curriculum vitae preparations and networking, brought together human resources professionals, successful entrepreneurs, and job recruiters to provide mentorship for graduate students and young women entrepreneurs on successful career and business management skills.

It was organised by the Savannah Women Integrated Development Agency (SWIDA-Ghana), a non-governmental organisation as part of the implementation of the Advocacy Actions for Women Economic Security and Justice in Agricultural Activities in Northern Ghana project with funding support from the African Women's Development Fund. It was on the theme: "Building Your Foundation for Employment", and was in partnership with the Department of Hospitality, Tourism and Management of the Tamale Technical University, Northern Regional Directorate of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), National Service Scheme, and Samakose among other partners.

Hajia Alima Sagito-Saeed, Executive Director of SWIDA-Ghana, speaking during the event, said it was to secure women's economic rights and enhance their resilience against issues of gender-based violence.

She said it was also to provide the platform where young people could build a strong and solid foundation that would enable them to overcome obstacles related to business and career development and to embrace opportunities that ensured their active participation and involvement in the development processes of the country.

She gave assurance of continuing to engage and network with participants and other organisations to facilitate the creation of more sustainable employment opportunities in the region.
She encouraged participants to take advantage of the training to enable them to become successful entrepreneurs and employees who would contribute meaningfully to the overall development of their communities.
