Young graduates have been advised to acquire technical skills in addition to their academic qualification to enhance their employability and job acquisition after school. Esther Fefoame, a Human Resource practitioner, who gave the advice while mentoring some final year students of the Preset Pace Setters Senior High School in Madina, Accra, said the work environment had become highly competitive with limited opportunities. The career guidance programme was organised by the Accra Premier Lions Club and Accra Sankofa Leo Club as part of their youth engagements and empowerment activities for the month of August. The event, which also formed part of the activities of the clubs for 2024/2025 Service Year, was on the theme: "The path of the young graduate in the society."
Two resource persons: Madam Fefoame, and Ms Priscilla Esinu Lartsey, a PhD Researcher at the University of Ghana, engaged and sensitised the students on key decisions and character to guide their career path and prepare them for tertiary education and future job market. The students also got the opportunity to interact with the resource persons and clear their doubts about which programmes or courses to pursue after SHS that would align with their interests and career goals.
