The Dean of University of Cape Coast Business School, Prof. John Gatsi has said the National Apprenticeship Program promise of the opposition NDC is a very great ideal, insightful and attractive.
“Yesterday the Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) , Mr. Sammy Gyamfi outlined a ten point preliminary commitment of the party. I find the National Apprenticeship Program insightful and attractive.” – Prof. John Gatsi said in a statement copied Awake News.
Explaining why he thinks the programme promise if actualized will contribute significantly to the development of the country, he said:
“The National Apprenticeship Program will help to attract the long-awaited investment in people for industrialization and nation building. As the country progresses we realized weak commitments to technical skills development is one of our greatest barriers to create sustainable jobs and fortify the economy. We missed the point when the technical skills development that was part of the 1986/1987 Educational reform which gave birth to the Junior High School concept, was diluted and resulted in very little investment in technical and vocational training.”
According to him “The separation of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) from the National Apprenticeship Program is very good. Well coordinated national apprenticeship programs attract the needed support and investment with time. It makes entrepreneurship for all possible. It makes it easy for formal educated citizens with frozen talents and skills to activate them during their free time over a short period of time.”
He emphasized that “This manifesto promise will develop a portfolio of citizens with multiple skills and will assist the youth who find it difficult to learn skills with their own financial backing.”
