“Youth unemployment is the most serious danger to the stability and security of Ghana,” he added.
Mr Mahama stressed that the NDC is prepared to tackle the unemployment challenge stressing that the 'People's Manifesto' contains feasible solutions for the youth and the country.
He said the NDC would resolve the unemployment situation in the country using the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme, which would be introduced once the party wins the December polls.
According to him, this programme will equip students with skills which will make them fit for the job market.
He said the introduction of another programme, the National Apprenticeship Programme, will target school dropouts who would be trained by master craft persons and artisans in various traditional vocations such as dressmaking, hairdressing, barbering or vehicle repairing.
After the training, Mr Mahama said the youth will be equipped with the necessary tools and equipment needed to start their work at no cost.
The flagbearer of the NDC also mentioned that more jobs would be made available for the youth of the country, through the planned investment of $10 billion in infrastructure.
