Mp Pledges Massive Development Through Youth Apprenticeship Initiative
Ekumfi Esuohyia, Ghana – A significant stride towards economic empowerment and poverty alleviation has been taken in Ekumfi Esuohyia with the launch of a comprehensive apprenticeship program, spearheaded by the National Youth Employment Authority (NYEA) and strongly backed by Member of Parliament (MP) Hon. Dr. Otheniel Ekow Kwainoe.
The initiative aims to equip approximately 20 local “madams and masters” (skilled tradespeople) with the necessary resources to train apprentices, fostering a new generation of skilled workers and stimulating economic growth within the community.
During a recent donation event, the NYEA presented a substantial array of simtress and vocational training materials, including specialized hairdressing equipment and carpentry tools.
These resources are specifically designated to enhance the learning experience for apprentices in Ekumfi Esuohyia, addressing a long-standing challenge where limited equipment often hampered effective skill transfer.
MP Hon. Dr. Kwainoe, speaking at the event, expressed his unwavering commitment to the holistic development of Ekumfi.
“I cannot wait until election time to share these items,” he declared, emphasizing that this donation marks just the beginning of his dedication to the constituency.
He highlighted the critical need for adequate tools, noting the difficulties faced by skilled instructors when they had to share a single piece of equipment amongst multiple apprentices.
“This program is about immediate progress, not just future promises. We are investing in our youth today to build a stronger Ekumfi for tomorrow,” he added.
The MP further elaborated that this initial distribution of tools and materials is the first phase of a larger plan.
He assured the community that a grand event will be organized to celebrate the graduants upon the successful completion of their apprenticeships, showcasing their newly acquired skills.
Dr. Kwainoe urged the seasoned tradespeople, the “masters and madams,” to embrace their role as educators with dedication.
“Think about the children under your tutelage,” he implored.
“Ensure they learn diligently and pass on these valuable skills, not just for their own future, but for the prosperity of Ekumfi as a whole.
” The program is anticipated to significantly reduce unemployment and economic hardship, creating a ripple effect of development throughout the region.
The National Youth Employment Authority (NYEA) Coordinator for the Ekumfi District, Mr. Maxwell Addokoh, has issued a strong call to action for young people and their guardians, urging them to fully embrace and diligently utilize the skills training opportunities being provided by the government and local Members of Parliament (MPs).
This initiative aims to be a powerful tool in combating poverty within the Ekumfi community.
Mr. Addokoh emphasized that these training programs are specifically designed for young individuals who may not have had the chance to pursue formal education.
By acquiring valuable vocational skills, these young men and women can gain a pathway to economic independence and a brighter future.
He implored the trainees, referred to as “madams and masters,” to treat the tools and resources provided with the utmost care and respect, recognizing them as vital assets for their development.
“No one can challenge the skills you acquire with your own hands,” Mr. Addokoh declared, highlighting the enduring value of practical expertise.
He encouraged a spirit of hard work and dedication, stressing that the knowledge and abilities gained through these programs are a lifelong investment.
“Study and learn hard for your future, because no one can take away the skills training you have learned, he added, reinforcing the message of self-reliance and empowerment.
This initiative represents a significant commitment from the government and its representatives to uplift the youth and foster sustainable development in Ekumfi.
Mr. Abeiku Essien, the Central Regional Coordinator for the National Youth Employment Authority, has issued a strong directive to all masters, madams, and apprentices in Ekumfi.
He emphasized that while he, along with the Member of Parliament (MP) and District Chief Executive (DCE), have done their part, the future success now rests on dedicated teaching and diligent learning.
Mr. Essien urged apprentices to “learn harder and acquire skill training well for their future,” stressing that this is crucial to eradicating poverty in Ekumfi and boosting the local economy.
He also called on masters and madams to uphold the trust placed in them, ensuring they don’t let down the MP, DCE, and President John Dramani Mahama, whose initiative this program supports for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
End.
