He reiterated that to become a successful business person often requires trading off certain lifestyles, resources and ensuring self-discipline. The DCE made the call at Dormaa Municipal when he visited the final 52 participants of the Ghana Jobs and Skills Project of the YouStart flagship programme who have made it to the advanced stage of the training.

The project, which is ongoing across the country, began a few weeks ago in three stages; the beginners, intermediate and now at the advanced stage which is the final stage.

The 52, comprise of selected participants who have successfully completed the first two stages from the Dormaa East and West Districts and Dormaa Central Municipal. The advance group would after the training receive a whole package under what they term The Competitive Business Start-Up Grants

Sharing his personal experience with the trainees, the DCE emphasized that natural talents alone does not achieve success but it demands determination and self-motivation. He advised the youth to appreciate humble beginnings, have a clear purpose, value time and people as well as truthfulness.

He argued that no one government in any country has been able to ensure 100 percent employment for its citizens and that is why innovations from the private sector has gone a long way to augment the efforts of the public sector, and government of Ghana by supporting that; is doing everything possible to address issues of unemployment through the implementation of policies in Agriculture, Entrepreneurship, Apprenticeship, Construction and many more.

The DCE therefore asked all those who have gotten this opportunity to be trained under the YouStart Project not to take it for granted but attempt to make it great and successful for the benefit of others. The CEO of Voice FM in Dormaa Ahenkro and a facilitator of the project, Mr. Atta Daboni, commended the government for the flagship programmes and innovations introduced to reduce unemployment in the country.

He appealed to the DCEs to support their people in the registration of their business and other documentation when they finally pass out. The Dormaa Municipal Chief Executive Mr. Iddrissa Ouattra, was there earlier to encourage the final stage participants to challenge them to go the extra mile to make the government's efforts fruitful.
