The National Youth Employment Agency (YEA) has initiated a process under its ‘Job Centre’ programme that will send about 3,000 Ghanaian nurses to Germany through the yet-to-be launched ‘Working Abroad’ project.
The project is aimed at exporting local human resources to countries that have high demand and have made request for the resources.
The Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Agency, Justin Kodua Frimpong, disclosed this in Accra last Friday when he addressed some Ghanaian youth at the second edition of the Ghana Youth Summit, which was held under the theme: ‘creating a sustainable future: employing the with sustainable opportunities’.
He indicated that the agency had received similar request from other countries like Canada and Australia, who are in need of both skilled and unskilled human resources for construction.
“This year, about 500 young men and women would go to Germany to start the programme. In the past, we left these things for private companies who were driven by profit to send people outside and they did not even care about the welfare of these immigrants,” he revealed.
Mr. Kodua Frimpong added that the agency would also export some Ghanaian youth to neighbouring francophone countries to teach English language.
The Board Chairman of YEA, Sammy Awuku, urged the youth to aspire for greatness by stepping out of their comfort zones and take bold decisions regardless of people’s perception and criticism.
“Always remember, no monument has ever been erected in honour of a critic. We erect monuments in honour of achievers,” he said.
Mr. Awuku also encouraged the youth to make optimal use of opportunities available to constantly upgrade themselves by researching into learning new ways of doing things.
The Executive Director of Council for Technical & Vocational Education & Training (COTVET), Dr. Fred Kyei Asamoah, also advised the youth to focus on skill acquisition and should change the narration that suggests that technical skills acquisition is meant for the less brilliant students.

I am not trying to be a pessimistic person but going to give a concrete debate regarding the fact that I live and study in Germany. Firstly, I commend the YEA on this initiative and we need another like this to empower our youth both skilled and unskilled to get training, exposure and experience in developed economies. I am sure the agreement with Canada and Australia will be effective because these countries are migrant friendly and seeks to attract skilled workers to their countries. However, I am skeptical of the Effectiveness of the German agreement because Germans are not migrant friendly, they are interculturally unintelligent, and there is currently high rise in anti-migration here. Even Foreigners been trained here in their institutions are mostly refused opportunities to work in white collar jobs let alone people outside their Country. They would seek for workers even in eastern European countries before leaving the EU FOR NURSES. Language is also a big barrier for the nurses coming over and even if they manage to learn it, they will be racially profiled throughout their carrier. My advise to people taking this opportunity is to try and get those ones from Canada and Australia and even USA if possible. For those who still come here; Goodluck and all the best
You are a foo00*ol and a hater even the UK employ nurses from Ghana so what is fake about this? nkurasefuo in nkurasefuo party like the ndc will never see any thing good because you are dumb to associate with people! those who negotiated know what they are doing and in every work in the civilized world one has to go through orientation before you are employed so what make it fake if they go there and go through orientation, does it make you better by coming to say they have to go through training ? No ! it makes you ign*orant and showing of your know it all ! Keep quiet for people of substance are in control ! damn you !
