The National Apprenticeship Programme (NAP), being implemented by the National Youth Authority (NYA), has been ranked among the best-performing policies of the John Dramani Mahama administration, according to the latest nationwide survey by Global InfoAnalytics.
The survey, presented by the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwa, placed the programme alongside the No-Academic-Fee Policy, the “Big Push” infrastructure initiative and tax relief measures as some of the government’s highest-rated interventions.
The recognition highlights the growing impact of the National Apprenticeship Programme, which is being implemented by the NYA under the leadership of its Chief Executive Officer, Osman Ayariga.
The programme seeks to equip thousands of young Ghanaians with employable skills through structured apprenticeship training while creating pathways for entrepreneurship, self-employment and sustainable livelihoods across various trades.
Commenting on the findings, Mr Dankwa said the National Apprenticeship Programme has gained strong public support because of its direct focus on addressing youth unemployment and skills development.
According to him, its inclusion among the government’s top-rated policies reflects public confidence in initiatives that create meaningful opportunities for young people and improve their economic prospects.
The latest ranking is expected to strengthen confidence in the National Youth Authority’s efforts to expand vocational training and apprenticeship opportunities across the country.
Under the leadership of Osman Ayariga, the NYA has prioritised youth empowerment, skills development and job creation, with the National Apprenticeship Programme emerging as one of the Authority’s flagship initiatives.
