The beneficiaries comprise four master craftsmen and trainees in hairdressing, fashion and design, carpentry, and electrical work, forming the first batch of participants under the programme in the district.
Speaking at the event, the District Chief Executive for Pru East, Abdul Nasir Dauda, said the initiative is designed to provide structured vocational training for young people while strengthening the capacity of local artisans.
He explained that the programme focuses on equipping the youth with employable and self-reliant skills by supporting both trainees and master craftsmen with the necessary tools, ensuring that practical instruction becomes more effective and impactful.
Speaking to Adom News reporter Daniel Tachie, some trainees and master craftsmen expressed their gratitude to the government for the opportunity, especially the provision of equipment to support their training.
