The next National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, according to former president John Dramani Mahama, will launch a comprehensive National Apprenticeship Program with an emphasis on giving young people jobs and improving their abilities.
He clarified that the local Assemblies will carry out the project and assist artisans in interacting with and hiring youth.
While on the “Building Ghana We Want Tour” in the Ashanti Region, the NDC flagbearer spoke to residents of New Edubiase and outlined plans to combat youth unemployment should he be elected in 2024.
“For individuals outside the school system, our emphasis is on skill enhancement, enabling them to explore opportunities in hairdressing, seamstressing, and other artisanal crafts. The next NDC government aims to establish a National Apprenticeship Program, with District Assemblies leading the implementation. They will oversee the registration of artisanal business owners and attach the young people with them. Local Assemblies will allocate funding to mentors who will guide these young individuals,” Mr. Mahama promised.
