The Ghana National Petro­leum Corpora­tion (GNPC) Foundation has sponsored 315 artisans to write the National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) examination for the second phase of its Skilled Artisans Project (SAP).

The examination took place at the Old Municipal Assembly of Oforikrom in Kumasi on Tuesday.

The phase one of the SAP started in 2023 with 389 indi­viduals in the Ashanti Region being certified after training in hairdressing, dressmaking, tailoring, masonry, carpen­try, motor vehicle mechanics, plumbing, among others.

Mr Moses Antwi Benefo, Head of Media of the GNPC Foundation, speaking at the event, mentioned that the successful artisans would be graduated and given start-up tools.
