Barbers in Kumasi have asked the government to make the barbering profession a priority. They want the government to help start training schools.
These schools would teach young people the skills they need to find work. This could help reduce the number of young people who are unemployed.
The barbers say their job can create many opportunities. It can help young people earn money and become independent.
They feel that barbering has been seen as less important than other jobs for too long. This is despite its ability to empower many young people.
Justice Osei, a barber, shared these views with local news outlets. He highlighted the profession's potential for economic growth.
The call comes amid concerns about rising youth unemployment in the country.
By investing in vocational training, the government could tap into a growing sector.
This initiative could lead to more skilled barbers across Ghana.
