The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Fisheries Commission and Ghana Armed Forces 66 Artillery Regiment to launch a youth training programme focused on fish farming.
The collaboration aims to empower young Ghanaians with skills in the growing aquaculture sector, while contributing to Ghana's economic growth.
Speaking at the signing event, YEA Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Kofi Baah Agyepong, highlighted the agency's commitment to job creation and skill development through innovative partnerships. "This MoU represents our shared commitment to create jobs through innovative ideas in a booming market. "The fundamental mandate of the YEA is to create jobs, and we continue to achieve this across diverse sectors," he said.
Mr Agyepong stated that the YEA would fully fund the training, aiming to enrol 1,000 youth in the initial phase.
