The Member of Parliament for Anyaa Sowutuom Constituency, Dr Dickson Adomako Kissi, has introduced a career development programme for the youth in his constituency to prepare them for the job market in the future.
The programme in collaboration with BYU- Pathway Worldwide based in the United States formed part of his volunteer Fire Academy initiative to train the youth in his constituency to become advocates of fire fighters in the country.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghanaian Times, the MP said the programme would equip the youth and create avenues for them not only on fire fighting but boost their confidence to become more employable.
“We’re not just teaching them firefighting but building their confidence so that they can be employable. And any career improvement resource I have, I would also embrace it for these students to learn so that they can better their CVs so that they can become more employable on the job market,” he added.
Dr Kissi indicated that, about 250 people had so far been enrolled onto the volunteer Fire Academy training, adding “The second batch who are about 105 and are now undergoing training would be graduating next month.”
He said being an MP, his aim was to bring development to the constituents especially education to equip the youth to become economically independent.
He called on the constituents to rally their support behind him to make the programme a reality.
“I can’t do it all so I need all the support I can to transform the lives of the people to become better persons in future,” Dr Kissi stated.
The representative of the BYU-Pathway Worldwide, Mr Dale H. Munk, said the programme meant to offer aid to people who had not had the opportunity in education to improve their lives and acquire certificate for any better opportunity.
He said certificates and degrees were offered in partnership with BYU-Idaho and also provide resources to help students succeed.
He encouraged the youth in the country to enrol onto the programme to help build their future.
