Agona West NDC Youth Organizer Frank Freebody Mensah Supports Youth in Skills Training

Frank Freebody Mensah, the Agona West NDC Youth Organizer in the central region has extended his humanitarian gesture to a group which called itself “Beautiful Ladies” for Skills Training to some selected youth in the Constituency.

The move , according to Mr Mensah, would assist beneficiaries from the various community within the Constituency who were engaged in vocational programs to acquire the needed skills.

He indicated that, the said skills would mitigate the high level of unemployment in the area and the country at large.

In a remarkable display of commitment to community development and youth empowerment, Mr Mensah took a proactive approach to support the youth of Upper Bobikuma.

Mr Mensah who is the patron for ‘Beautiful Ladies’ a non-partisan youth group in the area spearheaded an initiative to provide skills training in various trades, vocations, and handiworks to 10 enthusiastic ladies of the association .

On the 22nd of May, 2024, Mr Mensah led an initiative to roll 10 members of the ‘Beautiful Ladies Association’ into various vocational skills to undergo a 3 years apprenticeship. Preference was given to the beneficiaries to choose the skills they wished to learn, including fashion design, hairdressing, and more. He then led all beneficiaries to the ‘Masters’ of the vocation they chose to learn and made payment of their 3 years apprenticeship fees to enable them start their apprenticeship.

The event was attended by the parents of these youths, esteemed party officials such as the Central Regional NDC organizer, Chief Mike Dery, Deputy Secretary for the Agona West NDC, Mr Kofi Dery as well as the Branch Youth Organizers and Ward coordinators in Upper Bobikuma.

Looking beyond this gesture of entrepreneurship, he said “I have pledged continued support to those who aspire to learn other vocations or require financial assistance to kickstart their entrepreneurial ventures.”

“There will be an upcoming second phase of the program which aims to extend this support to a wider audience within the Beautiful Ladies youth group and the Agona West constituency at large” he added

He stressed that the initiative does not only serve as a testament to dedication to youth development but also tells the NDC’s commitment to fostering a skilled and empowered young population.

He added that investing in the future of the youth, the NDC aims to make a positive impact on the community and contribute to the party’s vision for prosperous nation.
