CENSODEV proposes multi-disciplinary TVET Centre to empower vulnerable youth
CENSODEV has proposed a new multi-disciplinary TVET Centre in Navrongo to provide vocational training for vulnerable youth in Northern Ghana. The center aims to integrate the Japanese Kaizen philosophy to improve employability and socio-economic development.
Why it matters
Vocational training initiatives are vital for reducing youth unemployment and fostering economic resilience in developing regions.
The Centre for Social Mobilisation and Sustainable Development (CENSODEV), has proposed the establishment of a multi-disciplinary Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Centre in Navrongo.
The community-focused non-governmental organisation, says the centre, when established would equip vulnerable young people in Northern Ghana with employable and entrepreneurial skills.
The proposed CENSODEV-Kaizen Multi-Disciplinary TVET Centre is aimed at empowering young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with practical, competency-based skills to improve their livelihoods, promote self-reliance and contribute to socio-economic development.
The Centre is expected to target young people between the ages of 12 and 17 years, as well as young adults aged 18 to 35 years, with a special focus on women, persons with disabilities and other marginalised groups.
The initiative forms part of CENSODEV's broader efforts to strengthen community resilience through livelihood empowerment, capacity building and employment creation across Northern Ghana.
