The Akufo-Addo administration\u00a0has introduced a special initiative targeted at jobless graduates called the Nation Builders Corps (NBC).<\/p>\n
In the 2018 Budget address, under the theme, “From Stabilization to Work; Putting Ghana to Work Again”, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, said 100,000 tertiary graduates will be employed under the NBC in 2018.<\/p>\n
Every one of Ghana’s 216 districts should be able to provide jobs for 462 graduates, the Minister said.<\/p>\n
The NBC, which will be based in the office of the President, will focus on alleviating shortfalls in public service delivery.<\/p>\n
