This will not only equip them with knowledge on their profession but they can also come out with certificate on different entrepreneurship skills to help them start up something of their own.
He added that Campus program has students from different colleges and universities who are currently being trained on different entrepreneurship skills and when they are on vacation they take time to visit other regions as well to share their little knowledge and skills.
The director also mentioned that the training was free but the Ghc65 that was charged from each person was for their transportation as well as feeding, and told the participants to accept that success is only achieved through hard work and that others may use their time on making themselves look good but as youth, you need to have vision in other to plan towards your success.
In a year’s time if the participants still need help on any training they will be glad to come and help out but if after a year they are not called upon and they come by themselves, they will charge each person for the training fees.
