AGI calls for workplace training to boost youth employability

Mr Gadzanku said effective industry-TVET partnerships required sustained engagement among employers, training institutions and policymakers to ensure that skills development remained relevant to economic needs.

He urged SMEs to provide more opportunities for young people to gain practical workplace experience, saying such exposure would help bridge the gap between classroom training and employment.

Mr Dela Gadzanku, the Vice President of AGI in charge of SMEs, said workplace-based training should become the norm rather than the exception, considering its potential to contribute to the socio-economic development of African countries.
