Mr James Kofi Bonney, Deputy National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on unemployed graduates to take advantage of Government's entrepreneurship programmes recently introduced to better their lives.
He said government had introduced the Local Enterprise and Skills Development Programme (LESDP), which enables unemployed graduates and other professionals to come out with business proposals for the government to give them the necessary support.
Mr Bonney was speaking at the first general meeting of the University of Education, Winneba Branch Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) of the NDC on Saturday.
It was under the theme: “Unemployed graduates in Ghana challenges and prospects”.
He said the government was also rolling out the Youth Enterprise programme sponsored by the World Bank to be run by the National Youth Employment Programme with the idea that unemployed graduates would also be assisted to start up businesses.
Mr Bonney charged the undergraduates to be creative after graduation.
Mr Samuel R Ziggar, a Psychology lecturer at the University and a patron of TEIN, identified wrong choices of courses in the universities as one of the major causes of unemployed graduates.
He, therefore, called on the youth to seek for guidance when they want to enter tertiary institutions.
The TEIN President, Mr Godwin Asimenu appealed to unemployed graduates not to sit idle waiting for their desired jobs, but rather find something doing to earn some income to sustain their living.
