The BOOST Project’s partnership with Zerosol is driving change in Ghana’s e-mobility sector, helping train young professionals, expand sustainable transport, and build a robust talent pipeline for the country’s green future.
Hands-on training for the next generation
Through BOOST, Zerosol welcomed ten young graduates for a practical, hands-on training programme focused on electric mobility solutions. Prince Avaala, Technical Director at Zerosol, highlights the immediate benefits: “BOOST provided access to driven young professionals whose energy, ideas, and curiosity have positively impacted our new projects.”
These trainees learned technical skills like EV diagnostics and preventive maintenance, and received training in essential areas such as data analysis, report writing, and professional workplace communication. Prince adds:
“There was a lot of training and re-training to do, including soft skills such as professional email etiquette. These trainings paid off and soon after, the trainees began to apply these new tools and resources in their day-to-day work, significantly improving the quality of work in the maintenance department.”
Boosting Impact
The real-world results of the BOOST Project were quick to appear. One intern, for example, used Zerosol’s preventive maintenance dashboard to detect a potential vehicle issue before it became a major fault. “This significantly improved our fleet reliability,” Prince shares. By catching up on the problem early, the intern helped reduce vehicle downtime and improved Zerosol’s ability to plan to save time, money, and resources.
Scaling up: the future of e-mobility careers in Ghana
Looking ahead, both UEMI and Zerosol are committed to scaling up the impact of the BOOST Project. Prince notes that the team is eager to develop new technical training tracks focused on EV diagnostics and battery systems - key skills for the evolving e-mobility sector in West Africa. There’s also a shared focus on supporting BOOST alumni as they move into full-time roles or launch new ventures within Ghana’s growing sustainable mobility ecosystem.
The BOOST Project’s collaboration with Zerosol shows how targeted partnerships can unlock real opportunities for young talent, accelerate the adoption of green mobility, and support the shift toward zero-carbon transport in Ghana.
