The Youth Wing of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), UK branch has launched a Skill-Set Database System aiming to harness the potentials of the youth in the party and also to accelerate economic development drive.
“In this information and technology growing world, it is appropriate that one taps into the great IT opportunities in offering solutions to our challenges", Mr. Richard Gyamfi, the Youth Organiser of NPP UK, explains during their maiden Youth Conference in Manchester.
According to him, "Knowing our outfit potential makes it relatively achievable to liaise with the appropriate state institutions for support and to build capacity to gain competitive advantage”
Mr. Richard Gyamfi revealed the database will be only controlled by the Youth leadership to protect categorisation of the youth information from any other party.
According to him, professions, experiences and skills and competence of the youth will be linked to entities for job opportunities home and abroad.
Richard Gyamfi therefore called for support of the party leadership to give a quota in various job opportunities to the party's youth particular those in abroad
