Some scenes from the event
The participants were trained in how to make soap, shower gel, liquid soap, haircream, etc.
The training, which forms part of the PC’s free apprenticeship programme, is geared towards equipping the participants, especially the unemployed youth, with skills for them to be self-employed.
So far, over 500 women in some communities in the constituency have benefited from the free skills development training.
Speaking at a reception held for the participants at the Kunsu residence of Elvis Osei Mensah Dapaah, Mr. Owusu Banahene, who spoke on behalf of the NPP PC, said he was committed and eager to deliver in order to empower women to acquire skills and training that would make them economically self-employed.
Mr. Banahene, who is the Ahafo Ano South West NPP consticuency first vice chairman, advised the participants to put the skills acquired to good use in order to impact other women in the constituency.
The participants, on their part, declared their unflinching support for the NPP and urged all eligible voters in the constituency to vote massively for Mr. Evis Mensah Dapaah and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the December 7 general election.
A cross-section of participants, who spoke at the event, described the training as a good initiative as it has equipped them with the skills needed to be financially independent.
