The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) in collaboration with the Ghana Prisons Service, has successfully graduated its third and final batch of over 5,000 Prison Service Assistants.
The ceremony which took place at the Prison Officers Training School in Fumso in the Ashanti Region marks the completion of a nationwide initiative aimed at empowering young Ghanaians with employable skills while strengthening the operational capacity of the Ghana Prisons Service.
The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of YEA, Mr. Abubakari Saana Abdul-Kudus, commended the graduates for their dedication throughout the training programme and reaffirmed YEA’s commitment to creating sustainable employment opportunities for the youth Ghana.
He noted that the newly trained Prison Service Assistants would be immediately deployed across the country to assist in key areas, including security, inmate rehabilitation, and public safety.
This initiative forms part of YEA’s broader mandate to transform potential into purpose, offering Ghanaian youth dignified career pathways through strategic collaborations with state institutions.
