Youth in the Ahafo Region with innovative business ideas are set to receive support from the government and private organizations to help reduce unemployment.
At an event held in Goaso, where young people showcased their creative business concepts, Kofi Sam Foster, CEO of Digital Foundation, noted the rising youth unemployment in the region.
He explained that the government, in partnership with private organizations, is working to train individuals aged 18 to 35 to enhance their entrepreneurial skills and refine their business ideas.
“The training will equip participants with the necessary knowledge and open doors for them in the job market. With the financial support provided, they will also be able to employ others, thereby reducing unemployment,” he stated.
Loice Awotwe, the Programs Manager, elaborated on the progress made under the Young African Innovators initiative in the Ahafo Region, emphasizing the program’s impact on nurturing entrepreneurial talent and creating opportunities for the youth.
