Are you searching for that dream job? Are you aiming at creating a career that helps you to be relevant in todays very very dynamic and volatile world of work?

In this episode of your favourite Personal Innovation Podcast, I interviewed Felix Nartey who has created a career for him self through volunteering his skills and time.

Volunteerism actually enabled Felix to acquire very market demanding and employable skills that distinguishes him from his peers today.

This episode is therefore centred on the theme of “Building the necessary skills for your dream job through volunteerism”

Felix Nartey is an Open Activist and a youth Empowerment Coach. He is the 2017 Wikimedian of the Year award recipient, a cofounder of Creative Commons Ghana and a Co-founder and Director of Open Foundation West Africa (OFWA), an NGO that is solving one of his childhood problems “access to information or knowledge”. Open Foundation west Africa trains the youth on acquiring the 21st century skills in ICT by exposing the youth to skill sets from the “Open World“, a world that is today ensuring free and open access to information, knowledge, technology and other resources with open (non copyright) licenses.

He works with the WIkimedia Foundation in the capacity of the Global Coordinator of the Wikipedia Library and serves as a member of the drafting committee for the Movement Strategy of the Wikimedia Foundation and a member of the Advisory Committee of Global Network Strategy for Creative Commons. He is a fanatic of technology and strong advocate for volunteerism.

He has empowered the youth through programs that has introduced participants to comprehend with digital currencies and how to position themselves to benefit from such a new trend, building creative writing skills and how to write in an encyclopedic tone, recruited and trained developers to contribute to open source platforms. He is also a pioneering member of the team that instituted the National Volunteer Day which later birthed the Ghana Volunteer Program. A program that has empowered thousands of volunteers and impacted tens of thousands of people.
