The new training centre will allow the company to bring world-class training workshops and educational programmes for its distributors.

The first of its kind in the region, the new training centre in Accra will bring in international speakers, professional trainers, and acclaimed experts to conduct workshops in Ghana.
The training centers will also regularly host sessions on professional marketing practices, regulatory compliance, and integrity in business conduct in collaboration with local partners. Participants can expect interactive, informative, and practical learning sessions that will enrich their knowledge of
entrepreneurship and direct selling.
Equipping people with the needed skills is key to supporting fair, inclusive, and sustainable societal growth. Having trained over 30,000 people through community education initiatives across sub-Saharan Africa in the last few years, QNET aims to build a local ecosystem that supports continuous learning for entrepreneurship communities well into the next decade.
This training centre marks QNET’s new milestone in sub-Saharan Africa, providing an opportunity for the company to give back to the local community by establishing an education platform that is accessible, and highly beneficial for all. QNET will organise regular workshops and training sessions that is estimated to benefit around 600 people every month.
Mr Biram Fall, QNET’s Regional Manager for sub-Saharan Africa, adds that “We are excited for this new milestone! Our goal is to bring sustainable, positive change to the communities we operate in through our products, services, education, and community development programmes – thus creating
a more diverse, powerful, and inclusive economy for all. In fact, in the World Federation of Direct Selling Association’s latest report, Chairman Roger Barnett highlighted that the direct selling industry can demonstrate its positive social and economic impact in countries where direct selling businesses
operate.”
The training centre will focus on the following goals: Offering entrepreneurial-based capacity-building programmes for all through comprehensive training workshops led by international speakers and experts.
Fostering a conducive environment for the QNET distributor community to learn and enhance their skills. The centre will provide equal opportunities to all to learn about direct selling, QNET’s diverse product portfolio, and professional marketing practices.
Cultivating a professional community that encourages a check-and-balance system and promotes adherence to WFDSA’s Code of Ethics and QNET’s ethical policy and standards, also known as the ‘Red Lines’.

In this developing economy, companies like QNET are especially integral to economic growth
for the country as it generates new self-employment opportunities, promotes development in semi-
urban and rural areas, and fosters innovation in communities.
“Education is one of the most effective tools that can develop untapped talent in a community, especially for the youth,” Fall adds.
“Our extensive experience in organising professional development workshops worldwide mean we are well-equipped on what it takes to build an effective learning culture within the community. Our plan is to continue seeking collaboration opportunities with local government bodies and community leaders to facilitate meaningful conversations and plan actions on how we can further support Ghana’s economy.”
With headquarters in Hong Kong and a presence in more than 25 countries around the world through subsidiaries, branch offices, agency partnerships, and franchisees, QNET is one of Asia's
leading e-commerce based direct selling companies offering a wide range of health, wellness and
lifestyle products that enable people to lead better lives.
The company’s grass-roots business model fueled by the power of e-commerce has helped empower
millions of entrepreneurs in more than 100 countries worldwide. QNET is also a member of the
Direct Selling Association in several countries, as well as the Hong Kong Health Food Association and
the Health Supplements Industry Association of Singapore, among others.
The company is also active in sports sponsorships around the world. Some of the more prominent partnerships include being the Direct Selling Partner of Manchester City Football Club and the African Club League Championships of CAF.
