The passing out ceremony was held at the newly constructed Damongo Astro Turf pitch ( Town park ).
The Damongo Zonal Chairman of GNAGM who doubles as the Savannah regional vice chairman of Ghana National tailors and dressmakers Association(GNTDA), Mr. Issah Sumani popularly known as Doctor explained that, the Association carries out mass passing out ceremonies annually to pass out graduands who successful pass their exams and this year’s event is not an exception.

The Chairman noted that before now, it was presumed that apprenticeship was meant for persons you are not doing well in school but added that, more professionals from all spheres of life are now venturing into Fashion because of it’s economic impact on their lives and therefore called on all apprentices in the Damongo municipality to be committed to their training so as to be successful dressmakers.
He appreciated the commitment of both Madams and the 11 apprentices who are now graduates during and after their three year of intensive training.
