With my counterpart Bob Okae, we shall open a vocational institute that will train the youths all vocational courses ranging from tailoring, motorbike mechanics, Wood work technologies and others,”she said.
She said that the hands on skills will help the youth to be able to create their own jobs and employ others.
“If the youth can be able to start their own jobs, it means the burden on parents and the community is lessened. This will also help them plan from their future based on the skills their have acquired,”she added.
Bob Okae, Kwania North County Member of ParliKent revealed that currently there is a mismatch of job opportunities in the country and that the vocational skills the youth will acquire will help address the imbalance.

Stop relying on government programs
