The Executive Secretary of Gold Fields Ghana Foundation (GFGF), Abdel- Razak Yakubu, has implored graduates of the foundation's Community Apprenticeship Training Programme (CATP) to fully utilise their tools and skills for the socio-economic development of their communities. "Last year, we seized two sewing machines and knitting machines from beneficiaries who, after eight months, had not used them and could not provide any tangible reason.
Our plan is to give such tools to others who are willing to use them," he revealed.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony for 33 trainees at Bompieso in the Prestea -Huni Valley municipality of the Western Region, on Friday, Mr Yakubu encouraged students to approach their career paths with seriousness, change their attitude, and make the most of opportunities at their disposal.
He stressed the value of acquiring practical skills and what the training they have gained could play in fostering their long-term career development.
