The National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) has rolled out a training program in 11 Skill areas targeted at the Returnees from the Diaspora and Potential Migrants of which some of the employees of the former defunct banks also benefited.
The (Institute) provided free skills training to the employees in a variety of programs with support from some of its Donor Partners. The program is set to provide Start-Up Kits to the graduates to enable them go into Self-employment after graduation.
Already, a number of the targeted group have already (graduated from the training programme) and have benefited tremendously from the program. The graduates are now on attachment.
NVTI believes that a skilled nation will not have a burden of unemployment. It would therefore be of great stride for the government to consider supporting NVTI to provide skill training to former employees of the defunct banks and those engaging in galamsey to go into self-employment.
This is amongst one of the many innovations by the new Executive Director, Mrs. Mawusi Awity.
The program seeks to extend its roots to other European countries soon.
NVTI is on an audacious path to change the phase of skill training and apprenticeship in Ghana.
