At the handover ceremony, Bono East Regional Minister Francis Owusu-Antwi urged the apprentices to conduct themselves responsibly, stressing that their performance would pave the way for others waiting to benefit.
He revealed that out of over 9,000 applicants, both online and physical, only 550 were selected to begin the training.
