Welcome to YEA
The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) was established under the Youth Employment Act 2015 (Act 887) to empower young people to contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic and sustainable development of the nation. Its objective is to support the youth between the ages of 15 to 35 years through skills training and internship modules to transit from a situation of unemployment to that of employment.
In this journey called life, our destiny lies within the work of our hands. At YEA, we believe in the power of skills, the strength of determination, and the beauty of shaping one's own future.
As we witness the progress being made at our skills training centers across Ghana, we're reminded of the profound truth echoed in Ecclesiastes 9:10, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."
Join us in celebrating the journey of empowerment, as we equip our youth with the tools they need to thrive, to create, and to build a future filled with promise and possibility.
JOBS!!!
We’re unlocking potentials as part of our mandate to create jobs in the country. In the Eastern Region, for instance, the YEA is turning dreams into reality! The youth have become bold and confident as a result of their newfound skills and opportunities thanks to the YEA.
Join the journey of transformation with our inspiring visit to the region recently.
