Here is the NABCo YouStart Application portal 2022/2023. It has been announced by the Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. John Kumah, that the Nation Builders’ Corps (NABCo) would be incorporated into the YouStart initiative on July 1st, when it becomes implemented.
Also, according to Madam Freda Akosua Prempeh, the YouStart initiative will help NABCO Trainees secure long-term employment through the mass entrepreneurship policy.
Details of the YouStart Initiative
YouStart is an initiative that will lead to more jobs in the country. With the YouStart Initiative, Ghana may end its unemployment problem.
Trainees who are about to leave the NABCO Scheme but have an interest in starting their own business can benefit greatly from a more focused approach and encouragement to do so through YouStart.
With the implementation of the NABCo YouStart Initiative, 1 million jobs will be created. In order to alleviate the country’s youth unemployment problem, the government seeks to put appropriate measures in place to create 300,000 new businesses owners.
This accounts for 30% of the unemployed workforce in the country. These entrepreneurs can then help out by employing other people.
