The Executive Director of Lola Hair and Beauty College, Reverend Latifa Adekanla, has dispelled the notion that Technical and Vocational Training (TVET) programmes are for persons who are not academically sound, insisting that in today's world, it remains a viable route for self-employment, and must not be viewed as an afterthought.

She said this on Friday, April 26, in Accra, when the LOLA Hair and Beauty College was officially launched to provide Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in cosmetology and hair styling to young people.

The institution has been in operation for the past eight years and has seen hundreds of young people trained, many of whom are now self-employed across the Greater Accra Region and beyond.

The grand opening was held at the college's premises in West Legon, a suburb of Haatso in Accra.
