About 400 artisans who were supported by the GNPC Foundation to
\nwrite this year\u2019s National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) certificate
\nexamination have graduated.<\/p>\n

The examination was held at the Jubilee Grounds in Takoradi in the
\nWestern Region after the artisans had undergone a series of mock examinations
\nalso sponsored by the foundation.<\/p>\n

The artisans who were drawn from the Western and Western North
\nregions enrolled under the foundation\u2019s \u2018Skilled Artisans Project\u2019, in
\ncollaboration with Aseda Foundation, a non-governmental organization in the
\nWestern Region.<\/p>\n

The project offered a two-year free training to the beneficiaries in
\nvocational and technical skills.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director of GNPC Foundation, Dominic Eduah, said the foundation
\nwould continue to support communities with basic amenities and other
\neducational facilities as well as giving of scholarships.<\/p>\n

He mentioned that the foundation\u2019s \u2018Skilled Artisans Project\u2019 would
\ntrain about 4,000 youths in various vocational and technical disciplines in the
\nregion.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that
\nthis year\u2019s beneficiaries also went through some training in financial literacy
\nand management.<\/p>\n

He said apart from
\ngiving the beneficiaries the requisite logistics to enable them to start an
\nenterprise on their own, the foundation would also be providing them with metal
\ncontainers in their respective districts to operate from.<\/p>\n

Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi
\nII, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of GNPC Foundation, said the foundation
\nwas making sure that all Ghanaians benefitted from the oil revenue by embarking
\non numerous initiatives to improve the living standards of the people.<\/p>\n

The Member of
\nParliament for Evalue-Ajomoro-Gwira, Catherin Afeku, said the current
\ngovernment was keen on skills development and was inaugurating more NVTIs in the
\ncountry to train the youth to acquire employable skills.<\/p>\n

The Founder and Chief
\nExecutive Officer (CEO) of Aseda Foundation, Diana Adjei, said the objective of
\nestablishing the foundation was to help the Ghanaian youth acquire skills in
\ncraftsmanship.<\/p>\n

She said the foundation trains the youth in vocations such as fabrication, fitting, welding, aluminium works, electronics, spraying, painting, tiling works, dressmaking and hairdressing, among others.<\/p>\n
