Phase 2 of the Amansie Youth Project Free Skills Training initiative, held in the Bekwai constituency under the auspices of the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Bekwai, Ralph Poku-Adusei, was successfully concluded at the Amansie Nsroma Social Center on Wednesday, May 1st, 2024.

The one-month intensive free skills training culminated in a colourful graduation of over 2,000 youth groups in various self-employment, income-generating, and entrepreneurial careers and skills.

The beneficiaries and distinguished persons from different parts of the Bekwai Constituency graced the ceremony.

This initiative is part of Lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusei's robust interventions and programs to engage the constituents, particularly the youth, to become meaningful to society.

It aimed, among other things, to build and expand the workforce by introducing employees and the unemployed to new ideas to boost their income level.

Lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusei, through his foundation and in partnership with the Gateway Skill Training Institute, initiated the project.

Participants were intensively engaged for a month to acquire new skills in pastries and drinks production, detergents (i.e., liquid soap, shower gel, washing powder, etc.), and farming models that highlighted snail farming, mushroom farming, fish farming, and bio-digesters.

The project awarded certificates to participants and graduates at a well-organized certification and graduation ceremony.

The glamorous ceremony was officially opened with a briefing of the numerous achievements of the Amansie Youth Project.

The trainers were acknowledged for their commitment, patience, and hard work demonstrated during the month-long training.

During the ceremony, trainees testified to the impact of the training and presented and displayed some items, models, and skills learned and acquired during the training.

It would be recalled that the maiden edition in 2023 recorded a huge success, contributing massively to reducing unemployment challenges.

In a resounding display of commitment to youth development, Lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusei celebrated the culmination of the Amansie Youth Project Phase 2, impacting over 2,000 young individuals profoundly.

The project equipped young people with essential skills and knowledge necessary for their personal and professional growth.

Participants beamed with excitement as they received their hard-earned certificates—a testament to their dedication and perseverance throughout the program.

Through workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities, young individuals were equipped with the tools and confidence to navigate the challenges of the modern world successfully.

Speaking at the ceremony, Lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusei emphasized the importance of investing in youth development to drive sustainable socio-economic progress, aligning with the vision of the ruling NPP government.

He touched hearts by reaffirming his commitment to life-changing interventions and called for the unflinching support of the masses, pleading for their votes in the December 7 general elections.

He also congratulated the graduates stating "Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations on completing the free skill training program! Your dedication and commitment to learning are truly commendable. I have no doubt that the knowledge and skills you've gained will serve you well in your personal and professional endeavours. Keep up the great work, and never stop striving for excellence!"

The success of the Amansie Youth Project Phase 2 extended beyond the conferral of certificates; it ignited a ripple effect of positive change within the community.

As the community celebrated this remarkable achievement, the Bekwai branch of the NPP reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to youth empowerment and pledges to continue investing in initiatives that unlock the boundless potential of the next generation.

Lawyer Ralph Poku-Adusei, through his foundation, the Ralph Poku-Adusei Foundation (RPAF), has undertaken numerous life-sustaining initiatives to boost the capacities of jobless youth.
