The Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), Hon. Osei Assibey Antwi in his address to the National Service Personnel Association (NSPA) says Service personals will be given permanent positions at their respective works after their one-year service.

“Per our records, only 24% of National Service Personnel reliably find jobs while a whole 76% end up jobless at the end of each service year, so we are using these programmes to work on the numbers to turn the figures around,” he said.
The Executive Director says the newly advanced programs include Pathways to Sustainable Employment (PaSE), Project Ghana Tech Lab (GTL), and Venture Building Program (NSS and University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
Also, there are other modules such as (GNSS)/Ghana Enterprises Agency, the Stanbic Graduate Transition Support Program (GTSP), the NSS-GTA Support program and the Youth in Greenhouse Enterprise Project.

“All these programs have been introduced to solve problems; we didn’t just create them but we did research and found the problems and we are providing the solutions”, he added.
