In Accra, SES HD PLUS, a leading high definition (HD) satellite broadcast service provider in Ghana, has successfully trained over 80 female Prison Officers as part of its comprehensive installer program. This initiative aligns with the company's commitment to making HD quality TV viewing experience widely accessible in Ghana and fostering local employment. It also aims to ensure that users have their satellite equipment professionally installed by accredited installers.
According to Ghana News Agency, Chief Executive Officer of SES HD Plus, the training program, held at the Prisons Headquarters in Accra, was a collaborative effort with the Prison service. She expressed gratitude towards the leadership of the Prison service for their partnership in this pioneering venture.
