AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mine has successfully graduated 15 young women from its Girls Apprenticeship in Dressmaking Programme.
The event, which also served as an induction ceremony for 20 new apprentices, took place at the Mine’s ultra-modern vocational centre.
The four-year apprenticeship programme offered rigorous training in tailoring, dressmaking, beading, knitting, embroidery, and other essential fashion design skills.
As part of the initiative, the Mine provided sewing machines, fabrics, and transport for participants, with the goal of fostering sustainable livelihoods and reducing unemployment in its host communities.
The Senior Manager-Sustainability, Stephen Adjei emphasized the company’s commitment to youth empowerment and community development, highlighting ongoing efforts to address unemployment and promote self-reliance among young women.
The Mine has also invested heavily in broader youth development initiatives, including the Iduapriem Youth Apprenticeship Programme, which currently enrolls 40 young individuals in technical training at the Obuasi Engineering School.
He added that, the Mine awarded full scholarships to 146 youth from host communities pursuing STEM-related courses, with a focus on mining.
These investments align with AngloGold Ashanti’s commitment to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Nana Aba Kwansima I, the consultant and trainer for the apprenticeship programme, was lauded by Mr Adjei for her exceptional contribution to the success of the initiative.
The Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Chief Executive, Benjamin Kessie urged the beneficiary to make good use of the opportunity they have to be part of the company’s initiative.
Mr Benjamin Teye Aborbi, the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipal Director of the National Youth Authority expressed his appreciation to AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mine for the comtinous support to the youth in the company’s host communities.
