A total of over 11,000 of Nation builders Corp beneficiaries have secured permanent jobs and have exited the scheme while some are still on the programme.
The exits had been attributed to the beneficiaries learning more on the job and choosing the right career paths in nurturing their own businesses.
Managers of NABCO expect beneficiaries under the programme to successfully exit through any of the three main pathways designed for them, namely; retention, entrepreneurship and further learning.
This was made known during a day’s entrepreneurship training and capacity building programme in Tamale for all beneficiaries in the Northern Region .
Close to three thousand Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) beneficiaries drawn from various districts in the Northern Region fillEd both the GNAT hall and WAEC hall to capacity in participation of the training program.
In an interview with the CEO of NABCO Dr.Ibrahim Anyars indicated that the program which forms part of NABCO’s “Skills and Talent Academy” is meant to empower the beneficiaries to successfully exit from the scheme either before or after their period of service elapses.
Dr Anyars said the tax-payer is investing $5,000 dollars or GHS27,000 on each NABCO beneficiary over the three-year duration of the programme and advised them to give off their best to justify the huge investment being made on them.
The northern Regional Co-ordinator of NABCO, Mr Stephen Atika in his address commended government for rolling out the programme which has benefitted about 100,000 graduates, most of whom had been idle for several years.
The close to 3,000 participants were taken through various discussions including Entrepreneurship, Career search and Personal Etiquette and professionalism.
