Some of the support, he said were in the form of training, equipping apprentices with start- up kits and monetary value to enable them start up their own businesses and to improve their standard of living.

Mr Owusu-Addo said the department trained some youth in soap making and were presented with Agro Industrial Soap Making start-up kits as support to enable them to establish their own businesses.

He said 2,000 Small and Medium- sized Enterprises (SMEs)were supported by the BAC to apply for the Coronavirus Alleviation Programme to enable them expand their businesses.

The MCE entreated the youth to patronize programmes organized by the BAC to help create job opportunities for themselves and others.
