“The digital world offers countless job opportunities that require only basic literacy skills, such as reading and writing,” Dr. Bawumia explained. “Our goal is to train 1 million youth in these skills, enabling them to access employment opportunities globally.”
This initiative is part of Dr. Bawumia’s broader vision to address youth unemployment and harness the potential of Ghana’s human capital. By bridging the digital skills gap, he believes Ghana can unlock new avenues for economic growth and development.
The Vice President’s announcement has been met with enthusiasm from many young Ghanaians, who see this as a lifeline to a brighter future. As the program prepares to launch, expectations are high that it will make a significant impact on the country’s youth employment landscape.
