The Bono Regional Coordinator of the NAP, Adams Ibrahim, confirmed the successful enrollment, highlighting the programme’s impact on the region.
Addressing Youth Unemployment Through Skills Development
The NAP provides free, high-quality apprenticeship training, focusing on technical, vocational, and entrepreneurial skills essential for today’s job market. Selected from a pool of approximately 6,000 applicants, these 700 trainees will receive nationally recognized certifications upon completion of their programs.

The National Apprenticeship Programme represents a crucial investment in Ghana’s future workforce. By providing valuable skills and pathways to employment, the NAP is empowering young people in the Bono Region and across the country to contribute to economic growth and build successful careers. This initiative plays a vital role in addressing the persistent issue of youth unemployment and fostering a more skilled and competitive workforce in Ghana.
