The campaign is designed to tackle Ghana’s persistent employment and career development challenges by actively engaging job seekers, employers, and employment service providers. It also seeks to promote legal migration pathways and enhance access to critical labour market information and skill development support.

Speaking to journalists at the launch on Wednesday, April 30, Chief Labour Officer, Dawuda Ibrahim Braimah, affirmed the department’s preparedness to deliver on its mandate and urged job seekers to fully utilise the services available under the campaign.
 

“Ghanaians should expect the best of service from the Labour Department of the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment. I will partner GIZ in terms of labour market information, job offerings, counselling services and skill training. We have done it together with GIZ, and we believe that we shall continue to do it and offer the best for the people,” he stated.

On her part, Charlotte Hanson, Public Relations Officer for the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment, noted that the campaign would also help the government build a comprehensive database of job seekers through the Labour Market Information System.

“One of the responsibilities is that they should be able to generate holistic data for government decisions and interaction. We currently have a labour system interaction that has been developed, and it was the World Bank that assisted us to be able to come up with that system,” she explained.

The JOBS Roadshow is expected to move across key regions in the country, offering career guidance, on-the-spot registration for job seekers, and linking skilled individuals to prospective employers.
