Kwame A-Plus is making a significant impact in Gomoa Central by empowering over 200 youth with skill job training, tackling the area’s pressing unemployment issue. Through apprenticeship programs in hairdressing, cosmetology, and more, these young individuals are being equipped for self-employment, reducing their reliance on potentially harmful alternatives.
Gomoa Central faces a daunting challenge with its unemployment rate, which has compelled many youth to seek opportunities in Accra after completing their Senior High School Education. Unfortunately, this often leads to involvement in undesirable activities, including sex work, and has contributed to a surge in teenage pregnancies in the district. Ghana’s current youth unemployment rate stands at 19.7%, emphasizing the need for effective solutions.
A-Plus’s initiative addresses this critical need, providing a lifeline to those seeking a better future. Beneficiaries have expressed gratitude and pledged to make the most of this opportunity.
By supporting these youth, A-Plus is contributing to Ghana’s broader efforts to address unemployment, which is critical for the country’s socio-economic development. His commitment to empowering the next generation is a step towards a brighter future for Gomoa Central and beyond.
