The Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) Coordinator for the Effia-Kwesiminstim Municipal (EKMA), Bishop Mensah Aidoo has announced that plans were in place to absorb some of the trainees in the Corps into mainstream public work.
He said the trainees with the passion to further their education would be assisted to do so while those interested in permanent employment would be given the option to choose the sector they deem fit to work.
Mr Aidoo added that those who intend to set up their own business would be required to provide a business proposal and plan and would be offered the opportunity to build their businesses.
Mr Aidoo said this at a one-day training programme for the trainees on Government’s exit plan for them after the programme.
On career-focused learning, he explained that trainees would have to provide their area of interest and explained further how the studies would be useful for their careers.
He said a portal has been created for the NABCO trainees to log in and fill an online form made up of eight thematic areas.
Meanwhile, under the online platform, trainees would be expected to provide information on their educational background, work experiences, NABCO’s skills training obtained, personal statements and details of recommenders.
The Coordinator urged all trainees to take part in the career transition process and avoid politicizing the initiative since the Government was interested in finding a long-term solution to unemployment.
Trainees were given nose masks to encourage them to observe the COVID-19 safety protocols as they play their part to prevent the disease from resurging.
