NaBCO Training Has Dealt With Graduates Skill Deficit – Dr Anyars

Chief Executive Officer of the Nation Builders Corps (NaBCO), Dr Ibrahim Anyars, has noted that his outfit has offered hope for 100,000 graduates who would have lived a life full of despondency and hopelessness.

The NaBCO trainees are in the fields of education, health, revenue mobilization among others.

Dr. Anyars made the disclosure at the maiden edition of the newly introduced government’s initiative on publicising it’s achievements in the area of empowering the youth with skill and resources in Accra on Monday.

The programme known as “Nation Building Updates” was opened by Minister for Information, Mr Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.

“You feel their presence and contribution towards national development everywhere.” Dr Anyars told the gathering.

He said as many as 175,000 applied to be enrolled when it was advertised.

“But out of this, 115,000 were interviewed” He said.

He noted that through the NaBCO initiative life has been restored into a number of institutions and agencies which were defunct.

According to Dr Anyars prior to being made NaABCO trainees, most of them had what he called “deficit in their acquired skill or training ”

“They had either not been well-trained in school in terms of skill acquisition or in the knowledge provided them but through NaBCO that deficit has been cleared.” He explained.

According to Dr Anyars, if anything at all, NaBCO trainees had a year or so training or experience which qualify or prepares them adequately for permanent job in both the formal and informal sectors

Dr Anyars who is also the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate for Tamale Central noted that a number of the trainees have gone into agriculture and are really making it big while others are fully integrated into the formal sector.
