THE National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) has developed modules aimed improving vocational training in the country. Under the programme, trainees can fully access the institute’s information online as well as register under the online programme aimed at inculcating the use of information and communication technology among them.
Director of the institute, Mr Stephen Amponsah made this known at the graduation ceremony of 108 students from the Tema Industrial Mission Vocational and Technical Training Centre.
He indicated that, the current educational reforms have make it necessary for the institute to put in place measures towards the registration of apprentices as well as master crafts persons.
“It was for these reasons the introduction of web based solutions that also allows trainees the opportunity to check results online as well as allow employers verify candidate’s results was put in place”, he stated.
While bemoaning at huge challenges that confronts the institute as well as vocational schools in the country, Mr Amponsah announced the institutes preparedness to provide capacity for trainees in various disciplines across board partner multinational corporations to meet the challenges of the country’s emerging oil industry.
He commended Tema Joint Church for relentlessly supporting government through the provision of infrastructure and skill training aimed at equipping the youth with employable skills.
The outgoing principal of the school, Mr Ebenezer Kwesi Anim presenting his annual report said the administration of the school has over the years depended heavily on volunteers owing to the inadequacy of personnel to promote effective teaching and learning.
He has therefore appealed to the school management as a matter of urgency employed the services of competent personnel in the areas of academics, accounting, stores keeper and an administrative officer to effectively manage the affairs of the center.
Mr Anim appealed to stakeholders as well as entrepreneurs to partner graduants as they seek avenues to develop the potentials in the job market.
The Acting Principal of the school, Madam Evelyn Agyemang charged grandaunts to put to bear the skills they have acquired for the benefit of themselves and the society at large.
While commending individual members of the church for their contribution which she said have over the years sustained the school beneficially, Madam Agyemang appealed for support from the government for the provision of logistics such as transport and training tools to help students effectively carry out practical training.
The centre established some 25years ago by the church has over the years trained students in dressmaking, carpentry and joinery. Other programmes runs includes, catering, blocklaying as well as radio and television servicing mechanics.
