It was a typical class day, but not the usual lessons for third-year business students at Bolgatanga Girls Senior High School. On this occasion, they received a special teaching session that analyzed a real-world scenario – the collapse of Fisker, a multi-million-dollar electric vehicle manufacturing company.
Gavin Wei, an experienced invest banking analyst, spent hours teaching the students practical business management concepts using Fisker’s case study. Gavin aimed to replicate the teaching methods used in US schools, where case studies are a crucial part of the curriculum. The Wall Street Journal’s publication on Fisker’s collapse on June 18, 2024, served as an excellent learning opportunity.
As a Teaching Assistant at the University of Southern California and Boston University, Gavin has developed innovative curriculum materials, delivered engaging lectures, and provided individualized support to students. His dedication to education has earned him recognition as a distinguished teaching assistant, and his students praise his ability to simplify complex concepts.
The outreach program was facilitated and supported by Earl International Group Ghana Gold Limited.
Gavin, a management member of Earl, encouraged the students to create value for themselves to stay relevant in the rapidly changing world. He emphasized that while individual abilities may be limited, collective efforts can lead to greater achievements and growth.
Gavin advised the students to be passionate about their fields and strive for excellence to realize their full potential. “The world is changing, so always be passionate about your field and stay on top of everything. Challenge yourself to become better and stay competitive,” he said.
The school received a cash donation of GHc 10,000 to support the purchase of teaching and learning materials.
