<p style="text-align: justify;">At Impact Hub yesterday in New York, I stood before a global audience, representing YEA, and once again, we made waves on the world stage, shedding light on the Youth Employment Agency's relentless efforts to combat pervasive youth unemployment in the sub-Saharan region. Despite the enormity of the task at hand, I eagerly shared our journey, acknowledging the uphill battle yet to be fought.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Navigating through funding challenges, I proudly showcased YEA's innovative approach, spearheading initiatives like Community Protection Assistants, Community Health Workers, and Prison Office Assistants. Collaborations with esteemed partners such as Afarinick, Inzag, insurance companies, and now Guinness Ghana Limited have bolstered our efforts towards sustainable youth employment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Among our triumphs, I highlighted the impactful Business & Employment Assistance Programme (BEAP), set to provide salary support to over 10,000 businesses directly. Additionally, our support extends to nurturing the garment industry, empowering over 500 micro, medium, and small-scale apparel companies alongside 40 major garment enterprises, facilitating extensive training opportunities in dress-making.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Highlighting our commitment to skills development, I shared the pride of training approximately 10,000 youth across ten trade areas, laying the foundation for lifelong empowerment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In spite of the challenges ahead, I reaffirmed YEA's unwavering dedication to reshaping Ghana's employment landscape. With determination and resilience, we are committed to leading the charge in eradicating the scourge of unemployment, one success story at a time.</p><p><img src="https://yea.gov.gh/images/WhatsApp_Image_2024-04-12_at_8.31.37_AM.jpeg" alt="WhatsApp Image 2024 04 12 at 8.31.37 AM" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Witnessing the resilience and dedication of our beneficiaries in the Volta Region left me utterly inspired. From the relentless efforts of our Community Protection Assistants to the unwavering commitment of our Community Health Workers and the aspiring Garment and Textiles trainees, I couldn’t be prouder of their remarkable progress.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the vibrant heart of Volta, we’ve seen 365 Community Protection Assistants, 120 Community Health Workers, 18 Prisons Assistants, 15 talented Garment trainees, and 206 individuals excelling in diverse fields, totaling an astounding 724 beneficiaries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Immense gratitude goes out to the Ghana Police and Prisons Service for pledging to absorb our qualified beneficiaries this year. However, we kindly urge them to expedite action on such a commendable move. Your partnership is pivotal in empowering these individuals to contribute meaningfully to society.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And let’s not forget the incredible impact of local businesses like Magava Dress-up and Trading Enterprise in Hohoe, Emmasah Garments in Hohoe, Perfnuts Enterprise in Tadzewu (Ketu North), and Ola the Designer in Ho. With support from the YEA, they’ve been instrumental in expanding their business horizons while simultaneously training our youth in dressmaking.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To all our incredible beneficiaries: your training isn’t just a journey; it’s your passport to shaping the future of our nation. Keep embracing every opportunity, keep pushing boundaries, and keep shining brightly! Your dedication is the cornerstone of our collective progress.</p>

<p><br />Dr Joe Danquah said, Ghana continues to rely on cement-based products for building and construction because the materials for artisans are always within reach and which cannot be said of the local materials such as burnt bricks and others.<br />He said, the Youth In Brick Production and Construction is novel in delivery a complete master cash man in burnt brick production and laying as he indicated that the trainees will be taken through factory mode production and construction, engage in comprehensive curriculum with facilitators guiding participants through hands on practical sessions, inciteful engagements for them to gain invaluable insights to enable them excel in their chosen field.<br />He charged the beneficiaries to thrive and unlock their potentials as they pursue their career with passion, determination and strong sense of support.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) in collaboration with CSIR-BRRI has launched the Youth In Brick Production and Construction module to train 21,000 youth; giving them specialized skills to succeed in the field of burnt bricks making and construction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Addressing the selected trainees in Kumasi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of YEA, Kofi Baah Agyepong said the YEA has been planning the program since last year August, when lots of people have questioned YEA’s scale of ambition.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He said, YEA’s scale of ambitions is embedded in their skills training and job creation drive.<br />According to him, some people thought YEA system cannot carry too many big plans but currently, the YEA is training 10,000 youth in ten field areas including; Masonry, carpentry, Tiling, POP, glazing works, general electricals, plumbing, beauty care, hair dressing and auto works.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Youth In Brick Production and Construction, he said, which is a collaborative program between the YEA and CSIR-BRRI will train and equip the youth to acquire specialized skills that will help change the construction industry of the country.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“By the end of the year, a total of 21,000 youth would have been trained and equipped not only to provide bread and butter for their families, but also contribute to national development,” he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He lamented that the unemployment situation in Ghana is serious, describing the unemployment situation in the country as a national security threat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He averred that government through the YEA has done a lot and will continue to do a lot in creating job opportunities as they currently has over 200,000 young men and women on their data base looking for various jobs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The YEA boss lauded the efforts by government in supporting the YEA achieve its aims and objectives and indicated that, the YEA is backed by a government that sees youth unemployment as a major concern to national development and provides the YEA with the necessary support even at trying times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He said: “We see the future not as something out of our control but of something we can shape through a concerted and collective efforts.”<br />Kofi Baah Agyepong urged the trainees to be proud of the opportunities that government, through the YEA is giving them and see that a major milestone in their growth and development.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He said, studies have shown that the building industry is unable to employ majority of the Ghanaian youth because they lack modern artisanal skills, hence the influx of artisans from neighboring countries like Togo whose skills are needed by contractors and estate developers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He charged the trainees to be professionals, and do away with the attitude of abandoning work for funerals and other social events; stressing that YEA initiates the Youth In Brick Production and Construction program to bridge the skills gap and improve professionalism in the building industry.</p>

<p>The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) has initiated a groundbreaking employment drive targeting 282 former tollbooth workers, mainly persons with disabilities (PWDs) who lost their jobs as a result of the suspension of road toll collection in Ghana. This move comes as part of YEA's broader commitment to fostering inclusivity and empowerment within the workforce. Speaking at a press conference held at the agency's head office in Accra on Thursday, Kofi Agyepong, CEO of YEA, underscored the pivotal role of the agency in providing employment opportunities for Ghanaian youth amidst economic uncertainties.</p>
<p>He highlighted the unique challenges faced by former tollbooth workers following the government's decision to suspend road toll collection, leaving hundreds of individuals without employment. “While this decision elicited widespread enthusiasm, we must acknowledge its consequential impact on a segment of our society that found itself in a precarious situation. Specifically, over 200 Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) experienced a loss of livelihood as a direct result of this policy shift. These individuals, previously employed as breadwinners for their families, were now faced with unemployment and its accompanying hardships,” he said.</p>
<p><img src="https://yea.gov.gh/images/pc2.jpg" alt="pc2" /></p>
<p>Recognising the need for proactive intervention, YEA embarked on a comprehensive recruitment drive in collaboration with government ministries and advocacy organisations. The result of this initiative saw 282 former tollbooth workers successfully employed as staff members of YEA. "Rather than lamenting the circumstances, we viewed this as an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to effecting positive change," he said. “This brings me immense joy,” Agyepong said, adding that: "This employment affords them not only a sense of pride and financial stability but also positions of influence where they can contribute meaningfully to policy formulation and implementation concerning disability rights."</p>
<p>In addition to addressing the immediate needs of former tollbooth workers, YEA has developed alternative pathways through impactful programmes such as the Business and Employment Assistance Programme (BEAP), Youth in Skills training, and the garment and textile training initiative under the Garment and Textile module, ensuring equitable opportunities for all individuals. According to him, the agency ensured the welfare and social security of its newly employed PWDs, guaranteeing them equitable treatment and access to the same benefits enjoyed by other government employees.</p>
<p>He expressed profound gratitude to all partners and collaborators including the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, Ministry of Roads and Transport, Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations (GFD), and the Centre for Employment of Persons with Disabilities (CEPD) who contributed to the success of this initiative, reaffirming the YEA's unwavering commitment to championing the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities in Ghana.</p><p><img src="https://yea.gov.gh/images/pc3.jpg" alt="pc3" /></p>
