Residents of Kpone Katamanso in the Greater Accra Region are set to benefit from a free skills training initiative sponsored by philanthropist and community advocate, .
The programme, which targets unemployed youth and women within the municipality, is aimed at equipping participants with practical vocational skills to enhance their employability and promote entrepreneurship.
Empowering Youth Through Practical Skills
According to organisers, the training will focus on hands-on skills development in areas with high income-generating potential. Participants are expected to receive both theoretical instruction and practical demonstrations to ensure they can confidently start their own businesses or seek employment after completion.
Mr. Aidoo noted that the initiative forms part of his broader commitment to supporting youth empowerment and reducing unemployment in the municipality.
“Many young people have the desire to work but lack the necessary skills and financial capacity to access training. This programme seeks to bridge that gap,” he stated.
Focus on Self-Reliance and Economic Independence
The initiative is designed not only to provide skills but also to instil a culture of self-reliance among beneficiaries. Organisers believe that equipping residents with vocational competencies will reduce dependency and contribute to local economic growth.
Participants are also expected to receive guidance on entrepreneurship, customer service, and basic financial management to help them sustain their businesses.
Community Leaders Applaud Initiative
Community members and local leaders have commended the initiative, describing it as timely and impactful. They expressed optimism that the programme would create new opportunities for residents, particularly young people struggling to find stable employment.
Some beneficiaries who have already enrolled shared their excitement, noting that the free training removes the financial barrier that often prevents them from acquiring skills.
Commitment to Continued Support
Mr. Aidoo assured residents that the skills training programme would not be a one-off initiative, hinting at plans to expand it to reach more communities within the Greater Accra Region.
He encouraged residents of Kpone Katamanso to take full advantage of the opportunity, stressing that skills development remains a key pathway to financial independence and community development.
The initiative is expected to run for several weeks, with organisers hopeful that it will leave a lasting positive impact on the lives of participants and the broader municipality.
