Malik Basintale, the head of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), has announced the availability of nearly 3,200 job vacancies secured through partnerships with private companies. In a recent Facebook post, Basintale clarified the recruitment process, stressing that the YEA’s role is to facilitate connections between job seekers and these companies, with the final hiring decisions resting with the private sector employers.
Basintale emphasized a critical point: no fees of any kind are to be charged to applicants throughout the entire process. He unequivocally stated that the application process is “absolutely free of charge,” warning against any individuals or organizations attempting to solicit payment in exchange for job opportunities.
The YEA boss outlined a straightforward application procedure: prospective candidates are encouraged to apply for the advertised positions and ensure they meet the specified recruitment criteria set by the hiring companies. Those who successfully navigate the application process and are selected for employment will receive a congratulatory message, presumably from the hiring company.
Beyond the immediate announcement of job opportunities, Basintale issued an appeal to private companies and businesses across Ghana, urging them to partner with the YEA to create even more job avenues for the country’s youth. This collaborative approach underscores the YEA’s commitment to working with the private sector to address the pressing issue of youth unemployment in Ghana.
In essence, Basintale’s post highlights the YEA’s efforts to connect young Ghanaians with employment opportunities in the private sector, while simultaneously reinforcing the agency’s commitment to ethical and transparent recruitment practices, free from any form of bribery. It also serves as an invitation for further collaboration with businesses to expand job prospects for the nation’s youth.
