Madina Job Centre

This comes at the back of recent initiative created by the lawmaker through an online platform which has been a solution to securing job opportunities for a lot of youths in his constituency.

In a panel discussion on Good Morning Ghana show last week, Francis Sosu explained the madinajobcenter.com launched in November 2020 has helped more than 2,000 unemployed youths in the constituency gain employment.

“When I was doing the campaign, a lot of people were saying that we don’t have jobs. To the extent that, some were even telling me you can come and construct all our roads, you can do all the gutters, if we don’t have jobs, what are we going to eat? How can we survive? I then understood the dignity of a person is taken if he/she doesn’t have anything doing. So I initiated the Madina job centre – www.madinajobcentre.com. All what I needed was to use my office as the Member of Parliament to do 3 things, to tackle the unemployment rise in the constituency.

“As we speak now, there are over 6,000 people applying for various jobs on the website with about 2, 000 of them successfully connected to jobs. That’s one of the ways I felt we could help the people and to connect them to the right jobs. Apart from the job connection, we have the skills training, others who needed to enhance their skills to get a job, so all what such people also needed was some addition of training. From January till now, we’ve trained about 100 young men and women in fields of their choice.”

He added, “The last part of this initiative is the apprenticeship part – again with the nature of our society, not everyone has the opportunity to get to some level of education, some don’t have the certificate. They want to learn some apprenticeship works but the connection is not there for them, as we speak now, there are over 100 women, and men in various apprenticeship works. Some are in the make-up business, sowing, among others. I think every politician has a role to play in reducing the tension among young people when it comes to the lack of job and it is a critical duty we must do passionately as politicians.”
