The Municipal Chief Executive for Tarkwa-Nsuaem Hon. Benjamin Kessie has advised the youth to create their own businesses and succeed for others to benefit instead of waiting to gain employment in non-existent jobs.
He made this statement when he joined trainees of the Ghana Jobs And Skills Project (a project under the Youstart flagship programme of the Government of Ghana) in the municipality.
The programme is considered as one of the main forms of support for the government’s top priority agenda of upgrading skills among the country’s population, creating more quality jobs and improving job outcomes for the youths.
Speaking to the beneficiaries, Hon. Kessie said the initiative is to help them learn skills that will equip them to establish their own businesses.
According to him, both the public and private sectors are choked and there is no vacancy, and this is why the beneficiaries need to take up the opportunity they have been given so that all the investment made by the government in the programme will be profitable.
Out of 100 beneficiaries, 35 had their session at UMaT on Monday.
The rest of the beneficiaries will have their turn in the subsequent weeks, as the training is expected to end in two weeks.
