How To Apply For Delta State Rural Youth Skill Acquisition (RYSA)

The Youths of Delta State are being considered by the State Government, who deemed it important to assist the youths in acquiring skills. The designated program through which Deltans will be groomed on some selected skills is the Rural Youth Skill Acquisition (RYSA) program/2021.

Youths living in the rural areas of the state, especially the semi-literate and non-literate indigenes are the major target, as they will be trained with fundamental business skills which will in turn fetch them money to earn a living, and promote the local economy of all twenty-five (25) LGAs in Delta State.

There will be two (2) basic aspect/components of the RYSA Program, which are;

1. The Practical/Hands-on training

Under this component, youths who must have gained a particular skill will be opportune to be trained on that very skill by professionals (Masters in the field). This will definitely increase their knowledge and practical skills needed for them to succeed in their ventures. The trainers will be assigned to the various communities/LGAs in the State.

2. Community Business School (CBS) training

Every Deltan Youth that will be opportune to benefit from the RYSA program (beneficiaries), must partake in the CBS training. This training will be held just once in a week, for the two months that the program will last.
The reason for this very component is to ensure that the lucky prospective beneficiaries are equipped with business skills, which is paramount in life and business in particular.
