UNAUTHORIZED SALE OF NATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME FORMS
It has come to the notice of the National Youth Authority (NYA) that certain individuals have been involved in the unauthorized sale of application forms for the National Apprenticeship Programme.
We wish to state unequivocally that the National Apprenticeship Programme, launched by H.E. John Dramani Mahama in Tamale, is a pro-poor intervention intended to empower Ghanaian youth with skills for sustainable livelihoods. As clearly communicated by the President during the launch, the forms are not to be sold under any circumstances.
Any person or group found extorting money from prospective applicants under the guise of facilitating access to this programme will face the full rigours of the law. The NYA strongly condemns any such acts and has initiated swift investigations into the matter.
We urge all applicants and community members to report any such incidents to the nearest NYA office or local authorities. The forms are to be accessed freely at the designated NYA district and regional offices, as well as online via the official NYA platforms https://www.nya.gov.gh/downloads
The NYA remains committed to transparency, fairness, and accountability in the implementation of youth development interventions across the country.
Signed
OSMAN AYARIGA ESQ.
Acting Chief Executive Officer
