The National Apprenticeship Program (NAP) is a strategic initiative under the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, implemented in collaboration with the Nation-al Youth Authority (NYA).
The program is designed to equip young Ghanaians with practical, hands-on skills through struc-tured, industry-based training, with a focus on promoting employability, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance.
National Apprenticeship Programme (NAP) provides opportunities for youth to learn directly from experienced master craftsmen and women across various trades, including tailoring, welding, hairdressing, carpentry, auto mechanics, and more.
Participants benefit from practical training, monthly stipends, and apprenticeship support packages, comprising tools and equipment to help them transition into productive work or start their own businesses.
The program also incorporates competency-based training and nationally recognized certification to ensure quality and industry relevance.
By supporting youth with critical skills and resources, NAP contributes to reducing unemployment and accelerating inclusive economic growth.
The National Apprenticeship Program is a key pillar in Ghana’s youth empowerment agenda-transforming potential into productivity, and talent into opportunity.
