Youth Apprenticeship Programme Launched in Asante Akyem District

Sinapi Aba has launched its Youth Apprenticeship Program in the Asante Akyem District of the Ashanti Region. This initiative, spanning three years, is designed to equip vulnerable youth with practical, employable skills, ultimately enabling them to achieve financial independence and contribute positively to society.

A total of 200 young individuals in the district have been enrolled in the program, where they will receive hands-on training in a trade of their choice. Sinapi Aba will fully cover the cost of their apprenticeship, removing financial barriers that often prevent youth from acquiring vocational skills. The program not only provides technical training but also instills discipline and work ethics essential for long-term success in their chosen careers.

During the launch event, Mrs. Theodosia Jackson, Founder of Jackson College of Education and a board member of Sinapi Aba, urged the trainees to take full advantage of this opportunity. She emphasized the importance of hard work and dedication, encouraging them to remain committed to their training. She also called on key stakeholders—trade masters, parents, and community leaders—to actively support the trainees in their journey toward self-sufficiency.

Traditional leaders present at the event, held in both Konongo and Agogo, expressed their concern over the increasing involvement of youth in social vices. They commended Sinapi Aba for this timely intervention, highlighting its potential to steer young people toward productive and meaningful careers.

Sinapi Aba has been running this apprenticeship program for over a decade, successfully training more than 5,000 vulnerable youth across Ghana. Through such initiatives, the institution continues to play a pivotal role in addressing unemployment and empowering young individuals to become self-reliant members of society. ‎
