And so we as Ghana TVET Service Management believe that when the citizens and then the inhabitants of these communities where galamsey is predominant are given the skills, the technical and vocational skills in various trade areas or all the required areas, for example, fashion, catering and hospitality, construction, and other trade areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that these skills will let them gain employment as early as possible. And so if the individual is in employment, that person will not go and do galamsey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we believe that as a service, we want to partner with COMEU and then Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to fashion out programmes in these communities where galamsey has become a menace.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana Technical and Vocational Education and Training (GTVET) have pledged to empower youth in mining communities with practical skills to combat illegal mining.
