Delta and Junior Achievement Africa collaborate to host leadership camp in Ghana

Panels at the event featured Maya Dukes, Managing Director of Delta’s Creative Team, and Ronke Adebiyi, Director of Government Affairs. They, among other female leaders, shared insights into their career progressions and skills development.

"The camp was an unforgettable experience; I saw firsthand how Delta is driving change by creating opportunities for young women to dream bigger and keep climbing," Dukes stated. "The curiosity of these girls was inspiring and I’m grateful to have played a small part in their story."

Ronke Adebiyi also expressed her satisfaction: "This experience was extremely rewarding for me," Adebiyi said. "As a Nigerian woman with a STEM background, it was a full-circle experience to edify these young girls. It was beautiful to watch their minds unlock as the panel shared career paths they could pursue in aviation, and the idea that their interests could evolve into multiple careers over time."

Delta and Junior Achievement Africa assert the importance of education as a means of achieving equity and emphasize the impact of exposing young people to diverse career opportunities.
