YEA, Ghana National Fire Service Graduate 5,000 Fire Service Assistants Under Revamped Youth Employment Module
The Youth Employment Agency (YEA), under the visionary leadership of Chief Executive Officer Malik Basintale, has marked a significant milestone in youth empowerment with the graduation of the final batch of 5,000 Fire Service Assistants. The graduation ceremony took place at the Ghana National Fire Service Training School in James Town, Accra.
This achievement follows the successful revival of the long-dormant Fire Service Assistants Module, a flagship initiative designed to provide structured employment opportunities for Ghanaian youth while strengthening the country’s emergency response capacity.
The event was graced by dignitaries including the Chief Fire Officer and the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment, both of whom lauded the initiative as a transformative step toward tackling youth unemployment and boosting national resilience in disaster management.
“This partnership with the Ghana National Fire Service is not just about jobs—it’s about national service, capacity building, and empowering the next generation,” said YEA CEO Malik Basintale.
The reintroduction of the Fire Assistants Module forms part of YEA’s broader strategic vision to redefine youth empowerment through practical skills training, employment readiness, and sustainable livelihoods.
With this graduation, YEA continues to affirm its commitment to “Jobs For All” and its mission of building a brighter future for Ghanaian youth.
