Goaso in the Ahafo Region has received a state-of-the-art Public Employment Centre (PEC), a significant step toward addressing youth unemployment in the area.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by representatives from the Goaso Traditional Council, the Ahafo Regional Coordinating Council, GIZ, and the Labour Office.
