Background

The 2025 Africa Regional Conference and Exhibition on Education and Skills Development (ARC-EDS) builds on the successes of the 2024 edition, bringing together key stakeholders from across the continent to address one of Africa’s most pressing challenges—youth unemployment. Organized in collaboration with Technical Universities and allied institutions in Ghana and across Africa, this event provides a unique opportunity for governments, development partners, and private sector leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue and action.

As Africa’s youth population continues to grow, a significant number of young people face unemployment or underemployment, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions. By focusing on entrepreneurship and innovation, the 2025 ARC-EDS will empower Africa’s youth and position them as key drivers of socio-economic transformation. This conference invites investors, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore impactful partnerships that can scale solutions addressing this critical issue.
