Following a rigorous six-month accelerator program dedicated to honing business and product development skills, Luminate Career Services successfully completed its journey at the UNICEF StartUp Lab. With the unwavering support of UNICEF in Ghana and a strong boost from KOICA through the "KOICA-UNICEF Accelerating Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Ghana" initiative, the UNICEF StartUp Lab stands as a committed accelerator program focused on empowering businesses in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the betterment of children and young individuals.
During this intensive 6-month program facilitated by MEST Africa, we tackled one of Ghana's crucial education challenges: providing comprehensive career guidance to JHS students and beyond. Luminate Career Services is on a mission to revolutionize career guidance in Africa.
One way of doing that is by leveraging technology to provide quality career guidance. With the training at the UNICEF StartUp Lab, we were able to develop our MVP, KADECS.
Introducing KADECS, our revolutionary all-in-one career guidance tool designed to help students navigate their academic journey. 📚🚀

During the UNICEF StartUp Lab Demo Day and Graduation ceremony, we had an amazing opportunity to present our products to a diverse audience, including parents, university students, children, and investors. The response we received was overwhelmingly positive!
Our eye-catching branded stand, featuring pull-up banners, brochures, and our enthusiastic team proudly wearing Luminate shirts, attracted a lot of attention. We were thrilled to engage in meaningful conversations and witness the heartening reactions from everyone who visited our booth.
Our journey with the UNICEF Start-Up Lab has been transformative, propelling our team's growth.
