The Chief Executive Officer Mr. Kofi Agyeman in a speech says this sums up to 1,500 Prison Office Assistants recruited this year. ‘’I am happy to say that together with my dedicated staff, we are really on course to help President Nana Akufo-Addo to realise his vision of reducing unemployment rate drastically in Ghana.’’

He further explained that, as at mid-year 2023, the YEA has recruited 15,000 Community Police Assistants (CPAs), 6,000 Community Health Workers (CHW), 1,500 Prison Office Assistants, 6,000 Insurance Traders with the National Insurance Commission, 4,000 farm workers in the Cocoa Rehabilitation Programme, 45,000 sanitation workers and thousands of other job opportunities through our Job Centre’s partnerships with the private sector.

The CEO stated emphatically that he is proud to announce that, as of June 23, 2023, the YEA does not owe any beneficiary. The Agency has engaged the Ghana Police Service, Prisons Service and the Ghana Health Service to transition the YEA beneficiaries into the mainstream services.

Whilst the Police and Prisons are in agreement to absorb recruits with vocational and technical skills, the Ghana Health Service will admit the qualified Community Health Workers into various Nursing Schools across the country.

Despite these remarkable achievements, the YEA will not rest on its oars. YEA will continue to explore innovative and smart ways to create more sustainable opportunities for the youth of this country and cement their future.
