Robert Nicol, the Youth Ambassador of Waves International, has revealed that 10 career information centres will soon be opened in all the regions of Ghana to assist job seekers, as well as young potential entrepreneurs.

According to him, the establishment of the centres would enable many youth who are interested in starting their own small-scale businesses to obtain information on how to establish enterprises.

Mr. Nicol announced this when Waves International organized an encounter with the media to introduce four youth achievers who have been awarded for excelling in their fields of endeavour.

He called on benevolent organisations to help support the project so that job opportunities as well as training programmes could be provided to the youth.

Waves International, which seeks to honour youth achievers across the country, has received recognition from high-profile personalities like the Queen Elizabeth of England and Nelson Mandela of South Africa.

Robert Ernest Davis, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Waves International asserted that the youth excellence awards, which was instituted five years ago, seeks to honour the achievements of youth below the age of 35.

He indicated that the youth across the globe are always honoured to encourage up and coming ones.

Sylvanus Bedrah, the youth professional of the year, said as part of the training programmes for youth across the country, the award winners would target students in the second cycle institutions.

This, he indicated, was aimed at ensuring that students in such institutions offer the right programmes they desire, since according to him, most of them are pursuing programmes without guidance and counseling.

Peter Wonders Kankam, the President of the students Representatives Council of the University of Education, Winneba, who won the students’ leadership award, said the award winners would use the opportunity to sensitize their colleagues to engage in areas that can lead to personal development as well as the growth of the country as a whole.
