National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE)
Emmanuel Hinneh, the Dormaa East District Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) in the Bono Region, has lauded the government’s ‘one million coder’s programme’, calling for the implementation of the policy.
Describing the concept of the programme as appropriate, he said the implementation of the coding policy would build and equip youth with the relevant digital skills and enlighten them on technology.
That has the potential to create thousands of jobs for the youth. In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Wamfie, Hinneh urged the government to partner with the private sector, saying as an engine of growth effective public-private partnership would not only spur economic development but also create job opportunities for the youth.
Hinneh said there were numerous job opportunities in the private sector, urging the youth to concentrate on those areas rather than relying on the government for employment.
He also urged the youth to identify and build on their talents, asking religious bodies to help the youth in that direction, saying religious bodies could do that by offering professional and career counselling for them.
Hinneh expressed worry about the inaccessibility of financial support for the youth to engage in entrepreneurship and called on financial institutions to help those interested in engaging in small and medium enterprises.
