I think it is time we bridge the linkages between the knowledge we\u2019ve acquired and the wealth in our land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cParliament will continue to provide the facilitation but first thing is that graduates must apply the knowledge they have,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, even though white-collar jobs are good, the opportunities out there are limited, because only a handful of people with specific qualifications are needed at any point in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called on the youth to treat with contempt, speculations that only people from poor homes acquire technical knowledge and training skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued that the youth must be allowed to venture into professions they have the talent to operate effectively in than force them into areas of education, which might not be suitable for them, and end up jeopardizing their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of efforts to address the high youth unemployment rate in Ghana, the government announced an entrepreneurial programme in the 2022 budget known as YouStart, with the objective of building an entrepreneurial nation and creating at least 1 million jobs for the youth from 2022 to 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The YouStart programme is a vehicle through which the government intends to provide funding and technical support to the youth (18-40 years) and youth-led businesses to assist them to start, build and grow their own businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Wise speaking on the programme stated that the \u201cYouStart is in the budget. I encourage young people to read the budget and get to know how to receive support to start something on their own. Every budget has some programmes to support young people with ideas. Unless you take the step, nothing will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: TheBBCghana.Com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
