Vice Chancellor of the RMU, Dr Jethro W. Brooks Jr., re\u00advealed that it was crucial to ensure that graduates were not only com\u00adpetitive globally but also capable of contributing meaningfully to the development of the sub-region.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, training as forklift and mobile crane operators, he men\u00adtioned, equipped the graduates with skills, essential for various sec\u00adtors from construction to logistics, both within and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross the globe, countries are seeking professionals to drive in\u00adfrastructure development and eco\u00adnomic growth. Your expertise in operating complex machinery like forklifts and mobile cranes makes you an asset in these industries,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>The RMU, he said, was com\u00admitted to equipping trainees with the skills needed to excel in any environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the importance of providing world-class training that prepares you for the demands of a globalised economy. We also recognise the need to continually adapt to the evolving needs of industries, both locally and globally. This is why we are continuously investing in the latest technologies and partnerships to ensure that your training remains relevant and cutting-edge,\u201d he outlined.<\/p>\n<p>He, therefore, appealed to in\u00addustry leaders and governments to ensure that local economies benefit from the skilled labour within the continent.<\/p>\n<p>He then urged graduates to carry along values of integrity, dedica\u00adtion and excellence and be proud ambassadors of the programme and the RMU.<\/p>\n<p>The President of NAHEOG, Mr Dominic Eyiah, also commended the graduates for the dedication and expertise which were valuable for socio-economic development while urging them to embrace opportunities ahead with pride and excellence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MP for the Krowor Constituency, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey The Member of Parlia\u00adment (MP) for the Krowor Constituency, Mrs Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, has reiterated the need for the government and leaders to invest in technical educa\u00adtion in order tackle unemployment among Ghanaian youth.
