HYUNDAI TO SET UP TECHNICAL TRAINING CENTRE IN GHANA- Program fights high youth unemployment by teaching auto repair skills - Hyundai to offer jobs to best graduates - Other technical training centres to follow Hyundai Motor Company, in collaboration with KOICA and PLAN ![]() <(from left to right)Hyundai Motor Director Mr. Lee Jang Ho, The Eastern Regional Minister Dr. Kwasi Akyem Appiah-Kubi, Korean Ambassador Kyun Je-Min at the groundbreaking ceremony> The repair training school in Statistics available from the Ghana Statistics Service 2006 Report indicate that about 250,000 young people enter the labour market annually; they range from university graduates to junior high dropouts. Only 2 percent, or fewer than 5,000 Ghanaian youth, secure traditional employment. The rest are left to unemployment or unstable employment. The cause of high unemployment among youth is the lack of employable skills needed by the job market. Most educational training curricula are not valued by the current job market. As such, the Hyundai-KOICA project has been designed to give youth employable skills. The project’s support programs and goals are : 1. Setting up a technical training center and supporting equipment for automobile repair training. 2. Recruiting and educating students to be auto mechanics. 3. Enhancing the skills of existing auto mechanics. 4. Creating skilled and literate mechanics. 5. Enabling self-reliant poverty reduction through youth empowerment. 6.
