The YEA CEO signing the MOU with the Country Manager of INZAG Germany, Mr. Fernando Mariano.

He lamented that artisans work in Ghana had been taken over by artisans from neighbouring countries because, Ghanaian artisans lack the requisite skills sought after by employing firms who need some particular skills to boost their production.

Mr. Agyepong said the Agency had taken up the challenge to change the narrative this time through partnerships to help train more of the youth to acquire the requisite skills set for masonry, plumbing, tiling, steel bending, carpentry, P.OP, designing amongst others to meet the needs of the emerging job markets, that offers sustainable and decent jobs for the youth.

A major highlight of the Agreement is high security and safety standards set to protect the employees from exploitation through a carefully designed welfare and safety measures.

He explained that workers to be engaged under the Agreement would have their income taxes, social security contributions and all other statutory payments made on their behalf by INZAG Germany, adding that protective clauses have been inserted to cater for risks and other occupational hazards that might unlikely occur to any worker during working hours or in the process of discharging their duties.

“Equally we have outlined procedures to provide proper forum for complaint, disciplinary actions and dispute resolutions in the event such an unwarranted situation occurs,” he said.

He appealed to private investors both foreign and local as well as industry players, public corporations and state enterprises to rely on YEA for their labour needs.

He announced that following the signing of the M.O.U, the Agency would open the portal for prospective employees to register.
