The Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology, a non-profit arm of the meltwater Group began its Ghana operations early 2008 to give students software development and entrepreneurship skills.

The engineers were also trained in software entrepreneurship and to help create jobs and wealth locally.
The MEST programme fully sponsors hands-on training in software development, basic business fundamentals and entrepreneurship in a fast-paced, challenging, start-up environment.

Mr Jorn Lyseggen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Meltwater Group, urged the graduates to believe in the skills they had acquired and to go ahead and prove themselves right and able in the global tech scene.

He said the training was more than just technology had given them skills to develop perspectives, think critically, problem solve, values and success principles.
“Success may not come immediately, and while it may also be desirable to start off perhaps with a job opportunity or adventure with life to identify what exactly graduates may decide to settle with, they should never stay away from serving humanity, and more importantly, doing the things that make them happy,” he said.
