Impact Careerpoint’s Role In Curbing Youth Unemployment

Youth represent a vital force of energy, innovation, and potential. However, providing sustainable employment opportunities for them remains a growing social and economic concern. According to recent data from the Ghana Statistical Service, youth unemployment stands at over 20%, with many more underemployed or engaged in informal, low-paying jobs. The key contributing factors include the lack of practical skills, the mismatch between education and industry needs, and the general unavailability of decent jobs.

To address these challenges, Impact Careerpoint is committed to enhancing employability and supporting professional growth through career guidance, counselling, and capacity-building initiatives.

Our core interventions include:

1. Virtual Career Seminars
   Our monthly Virtual Impact Career Seminars provide an ideal platform for professionals, graduates, students, and job seekers to acquire the knowledge and skills required to navigate their career journeys. The sessions, which feature carefully selected topics in career and professional development, consistently leave participants informed and inspired.
2. CV Writing and Editing
   A well-crafted Curriculum Vitae is the gateway to securing an interview. Our CV Writing and Editing Service helps individuals present their qualifications and experiences effectively, ensuring a professional first impression that captures employers’ attention.
3. Career Guidance and Counselling
   Through personalized Career Guidance and Counselling, we help individuals make informed career decisions, align their goals with market realities, and nurture both career and personal development.
4. Career Assessment
   We employ the Edumilestones 5-Dimensional Career Assessment Test, which analyzes personality, interests, career motivators, learning styles, and abilities. This scientifically grounded tool provides accurate insights to help pupils, students, graduates, and professionals identify career paths that align with their strengths and aspirations.
5. Training and Professional Development Programs
   Our training programs are thoughtfully designed to foster career growth and organizational effectiveness. Each program is customized to the specific needs of a target group or institution, ensuring practical, results-oriented outcomes.

Through these initiatives, Impact Careerpoint continues to transform the challenge of unemployment into opportunities for innovation, self-development, and sustainable growth. By empowering individuals—especially the youth of Ghana—to unlock their full potential, we contribute meaningfully to national development and the creation of a skilled, future-ready workforce.
