A total of 50 youth have graduated from the Madina Job Centre
with skills in Website Development, blogging, Graphic Design and other
technology-based businesses after four weeks of intensive skills
training conducted by Zimba Media.
Dubbed the technopreneur, the 4weeks weeks training exercise was led
by Dr. Yakubu Yusuf, a Medical Practitioner who doubles as the creative
Director of Zimba Media.
The youth drawn from communities within the constituency were trained
free of charge after going through a pre-training registration with the
Job Centre.
The Medina Job Centre which is described as a poverty alleviation
centre was established by the Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis
Xavier Sosu, to help reduce the high rate of unemployment among youth in
the Constituency.
The training was part of series of young entrepreneurship training
sponsored by the MP, with the belief that such skills training is what
required in the country of today where youths no longer get jobs after
their education.
The graphic design skills training was done in collaboration with
ZIMBA MEDIA AFRICA, a private media consulting company in Accra owned by
Dr. Yakubu Tobor Yusuf, a medical doctor who works at the Kojach
Medical Center.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony held on Saturday, April 17,
2021, Dr. Yakubu said the beneficiary students were taken through
graphic designs, motion graphics and presentation skills under a
computer literacy skills course.
He said over 64 youth applied but only 50 of them were shortlisted
and they undergo four weeks of intensive training at the weekends on how
to start their business, design logo, video presentation, among others.
The overall aim of the course, Dr. Yakubu said is part of the
unemployment mitigation for the youth to get quick cash to solve their
immediate needs, especially under the COVID-19 infected economy.
The 50 beneficiaries of the technopreneur trainee received know-how
on Graphic Design, Website Design & Hosting, Blogging, motion
graphics and Photography of which some of them have started their own
business.The
