A total of 44 young people in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region have successfully completed a four-year training on dressmaking and tailoring to fetch themselves decent jobs.
Mostly young women, the Duayaw-Nkwanta Zone of the Ghana National Tailors, and Dressmakers Association (GNTDA) took the graduates through the employable skills training.
Addressing a passing out ceremony at Duayaw-Nkwanta, Mr Pius Opoku, the Tano North Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) commended the graduates and asked them to concentrate on their craft and build a better future for themselves and their families.
He said employable skills training remained a lucrative enterprise that could make them financially independence, saying “tailors and dressmakers clothe everybody everywhere,” asking them to remain loyal to endeavour to remain loyal to their customers.
Mr Opoku asked the graduates to upgrade themselves to be able to cope with the global fashion trends and thereby expand their businesses.
Madam Linda Konama, the Duayaw-Nkwanta Zonal Chairperson of the GNTDA urged the graduates to work hard, expand their business, and create jobs for others too and urged the unemployed youth to engage in employable skills training.
