In an effort to boost self-employment and entrepreneurship within the Manso Adubia Constituency, Hon. Yaw Frimpong Addo, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, has announced a free skill training program for his constituents. Scheduled to take place from 10th to 12th September 2024, the training will cover a wide range of skills in the areas of cosmetics production, baking, and beauty care services.
This initiative is part of the MP’s ongoing commitment to improving livelihoods in the constituency by equipping participants with practical skills that can immediately be used to start small businesses. The skill training program will provide participants with the opportunity to learn how to produce liquid soap, hair moisturizers, hair shampoo, hair pomade, as well as a variety of baking skills including making, meat pies, short biscuits, rock buns, sugar bread, and butter bread Additionally, participants will gain expertise in, pedicure, manicure, and the application of eye lashes, all of which are in high demand in beauty services.
Speaking about the upcoming program, Hon. Frimpong Addo explained, “This initiative is designed to offer a practical solution to unemployment in our constituency. By learning these skills, participants can start their own businesses, become financially independent, and even employ others. This will not only empower individuals but also strengthen our local economy.”
Targeting Youth and Women
The program is open to all constituents, with a particular focus on women and the youth. According to the MP, many people in the constituency, especially young women, lack the financial means to pursue formal education or entrepreneurial ventures.

Participants in the training will receive all necessary materials free of charge, and experienced professionals will facilitate each session to ensure that participants acquire high-quality skills. In addition, trainees will be provided with starter kits at the end of the program to help them establish their own businesses.
“Our young people and women are capable of doing great things if they are given the right support. Through this initiative, we are giving them the tools they need to succeed and contribute meaningfully to the development of Manso Adubia,” Hon. Frimpong Addo stated.
Aiming for Long-Term Impact
The MP further emphasized that this skill training program is not a one-off event but part of a larger strategy to create sustainable development in the Manso Adubia Constituency. By empowering individuals with practical skills, the program is expected to significantly reduce unemployment and create a ripple effect of economic growth in the community.
Beyond providing skills, Hon. Frimpong Addo also indicated that participants who excel in the training will receive additional mentorship and support to scale up their businesses. “We want to ensure that those who take advantage of this program can grow their ventures and potentially employ others. Our goal is to create an ecosystem of successful small businesses in the constituency,” he added.
