Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has revealed that his plan to train one million youth in digital skills will include 5,000 young people from the Kwadaso Constituency.
The initiative is designed to equip the youth with vital skills, including coding, to enable them to work remotely from home.
Speaking at a constituency connect event in Kwadaso, Dr. Bawumia described the policy as a transformative approach to job creation, which he believes will be a “game changer” for employment opportunities.
Through this program, he aims to empower the youth with the skills needed to thrive in the digital economy.
“The youth need skills. We’ve introduced technical and vocational training, but they also need digital skills, as the world has shifted to digital.
“From right here in Kwadaso, one can work for companies in the US, Canada, and Singapore. Even school dropouts can be trained.
“My goal is to have at least one million people trained in digital skills, starting with five thousand youth from Kwadaso Constituency. This way, they can stay here and still work internationally”
