The initiative combines technical training, entrepreneurship development, certification, and soft skills coaching to improve employability and create pathways to sustainable income.Operating across the Tamale Metropolis, Sagnarigu Municipality, and Nanumba South District, SEAL empowers young people to become productive citizens capable of transforming their own lives and contributing to the growth of their communities.
