To get dividends, however, we must invest. This training is a testament of our commitment to employment promotion and job creation. One way to do this is to invest in the people who have and are demonstrating potential to employ others,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, the National Project Coordinator for ILO Ghana, Akua Ofori Asumadu encouraged the participants to put into practice what they had been taught. <\/p>\n<p>She also assured them that the ILO and GGC will be engaging them from time to time to monitor their progress in their respective businesses and advise where appropriate. She also encouraged them to put into practice the decent work principle. <\/p>\n<p>The Ghanaian-German Centre for Jobs and Reintegration is part of the global project \u201cProgramme Migration for Development\u201d (PMD), which is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in Ghana in collaboration with the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations (MELR).<\/p>\n<p>GGC\u2019s objective is to support Government\u2019s effort at improving living conditions and provide opportunities to enhance job prospects, now and in the future. <\/p>\n<p>In particular, this entails activities to promote education, training and employment opportunities. <\/p>\n<p>The support is aimed not only at the local population and internally displaced people, but also at those returning home from Germany.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BY Melvin Tarlue <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghanaian-German Centre for Jobs, Migration and Reintegration (GGC) in partnership with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Ghana, has organised a two-week training for budding entrepreneurs and individuals looking to start their own businesses.
