President Akufo-Addo said that his administration has put in place several job creation initiatives to provide youth with decent employment opportunities.
The President referenced the establishment of the Ghanaian-European Center for Jobs, Migration, and Development as one of the initiatives.
He stated that his administration has enhanced the mobility of labour officers by providing 80 motors, four SUVs, and twenty-one pickup vehicles for their use.
Speaking at the Trades Union Congress (TUC) quadrennial conference at Kasoa in the Central Region on Tuesday, August 20, President Akufo-Addo said, “An ultra-modern four-story building currently 95 percent complete is being constructed alongside the construction of 16 new public employment centres and the refurbishment of forty others across the country.
“The establishment of the Ghanaian-European Centre for Jobs, Migration, and Development is a further boost for the provision of decent employment opportunities, particularly for young people seeking to migrate or return from abroad. The youth employment agency has also been reformed and repositioned to facilitate job creation for our teeming youth. In 2024 alone, 84,138 aid beneficiaries were aged under various models of the program.
“Since 2017, a total of 700,947 people have benefited from the YEA’s initiative. These achievements would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of organised labour.”
