The Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment, Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, has called on Ghanaian youths to become innovative entrepreneurs and create job opportunities rather than solely seeking public sector jobs. According to the Minister, the current youth have a lot of insight and ideas to break new grounds and should be encouraged to pursue entrepreneurship.
Dr. Pelpuo made this call when the Ghana Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs paid him a courtesy visit to congratulate him and seek his support in promoting young entrepreneurs’ businesses and innovations. The Chamber requested support for their programs, including the Young Entrepreneurs Leave Initiative, Apprenticeship Entrepreneurship, and Ecosystem Ghana Innovation. The Minister’s emphasis on entrepreneurship highlights the need for Ghanaian youths to explore alternative career paths beyond traditional employment.
The Minister assured the Chamber of his support, stating that if the youth understand their potential, the nation will benefit from better job opportunities. Dr. Pelpuo’s assurance has boosted the hopes of young entrepreneurs in Ghana, and his ministry’s backing is expected to contribute to the growth and development of entrepreneurship in the country.
