Director General of the Commission for Technical Vocational Education and Training (CTVET), Dr. Fred Kyei Asamoah, has stated that following the government\u2019s prioritisation of TVET in 2017, many of the youth have opted for TVET, creating job opportunities in the country.<\/p>\n
He said the government\u2019s commitment to enhancing the quality and relevance of TVET in Ghana is unmatched as it has created robust curricula to meet the current market demands.<\/p>\n
In a recent statement, Dr. Asamoah outlined the government\u2019s plans to improve access, quality, and financing of TVET, emphasising the importance of a robust system capable of adapting to changing industry needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working on a new treatment policy that focuses on just transition,\u201d he said. \u201cOur goal is to develop a TVET system that can predict and respond to the skills required in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Asamoah stressed the need for Ghana to shift from merely following global trends to becoming a leader in innovation, particularly in emerging technologies such as electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot continue to learn only after others have paved the way. We should be at the forefront of developing our technologies,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He highlighted the necessity of cultivating a critical mass of skilled individuals in the country, ultimately leading to increased research and innovation.<\/p>\n
Dr. Asamoah expressed optimism about Ghana\u2019s potential to create homegrown products and services.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe aim for a future where our innovations benefit not just us but also other nations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Dr. Asamoah made this known at the inauguration of the sector bodies under the theme, \u201cBuilding Demand Driven Skills For Industry\u201d.<\/p>\n
He referenced the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) manifesto, emphasising elevating sector skill bodies and placing industry at the heart of TVET initiatives.<\/p>\n
He said the government aims for at least 50% of young people to pursue TVET as part of its long-term vision.<\/p>\n
Dr. Asamoah mentioned that while the current enrollment stands at around 10%, efforts are underway to increase this to 20% in the medium term, with a target of reaching 50% in the long run, adding, \u201cachieving these goals will be monumental for our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
