New NYEP modules to focus on employable skills
Fresh modules being designed under the National
Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) would focus on
the development of employable skills for
beneficiaries.

Mr Kwesi Hollison, Deputy NYEP Coordinator in
charge of Monitoring and Evaluation, disclosed
this to Ghana News Agency when a team from the
NYEP national directorate met beneficiaries under
the Prisons Support module at the Ho Prisons on
Thursday.

He stressed that beneficiaries would be trained to
set up their own economic entities and employ
others rather than be employed.

Mr Hollison said the NYEP was progressively
tackling the problem of late payment of allowances
to the beneficiaries.

He said delay in the payment of the allowances was
caused by late receipt of cash advanced by support
agencies to the NYEP.

The Prison Support Assistants mounted a guard of
honour and later met the NYEP briefly before going
into close door discussions.

Mr Joseph Amenowode, Volta Regional Minister,
reminded the beneficiaries that by their name,
Support Assistants, they were not Prison Officers
and it would be criminal for any of them to
present himself or herself as an officer of the
Prisons.
