Background:
Currently, the government of Ghana 🇬ðŸ‡Â is implementing series of job creation avenues for the youth to get training and empowerment.
The Vice President recently outdoored the biggest initiative where head potters are being trained on many modules including bus driving, bead making, wig weaving and many others.
It is expected that these initiatives being rolled out under the NEIP and other similar modules ongoing under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) would help to provide training and employable skills for the Ghanaian youth across the country.
