The National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) has successfully launched a new programme, known as the Youth-in-Mining module.
The new programme would focus on creating jobs, mostly in the small-scale ventures, for the youth in the mining communities.
It would also train the beneficiaries in best mining practices and environmental conservation, as well as the necessary equipment in mining.
Launching the programme at Akwatia in the Eastern Region, the National Coordinator of the NYEP, Abuga Pele, said the new programme would elevate small-scale mining, give skills training in mining, impart managerial know-how and promote modern agriculture.
They would also be encouraged to undertake environmental conservation.
He said a NYEP Bill would soon be passed by Parliament and the programme would be given sufficient funding to operate without the present challenges facing it.
The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Nii Nortey Dua, appealed to all Ghanaians, especially the youth, to ensure the success of the programme.
