Miss Universe Ghana 2018 to benefit from media, leadership training
The organisers of this year’s Miss Universe Ghana pageant, MALTZ Promotions, have underscored the importance of the media in the socio-economic development of women. They have, thus, included hands-on media training in the prize package for the 2018 contest.
The top five winners will benefit from a six-month internship programme with the Multimedia Group to learn at first-hand the operations of the company, as well as the elements of good media practice.
