We spoke with Edma Lawer, the founder and CEO of ELO Petroleum,  an Oil and Gas service company that specialises is providing manpower and materials in the upstream sector in Ghana.

Edma also runs Youth Empowerment Wave Global (YEWGlobal), a Youth NGO that engages and inspires young people to use their skills to establish businesses for themselves.

After completing undergraduate and masters degrees in Oil and Gas Management and  International Relations and Democratic Politics respectively, Edma relocated to Ghana to chase her dreams 5 years ago.

The key themes we explore on this episode include:

• Edma’s experience with breaking into the Oil and Gas Industry in Ghana
• Services that ELO Petroleum provides and how they match talent with potential employers
• Some challenges associated with talent development and retention in Ghana and Africa as a whole
• Some of the most sought after skills (technical and non-technical) within the industry in Ghana
