Introduction:
From Job Seeking
To Job Creation
Education is expected to make the individual useful to him/herself and the society in which they live. The educated person is expected not only to be knowledgeable, but must be productive and able to create jobs for himself and others. If for nothing at all, he must be employable Unfortunately, many people complete school and the only thing they have is knowledge that is never applied. They are unable to create or find a job, thereby resulting in unemployment.
Youth unemployment, poverty and associated social-vices have become major development challenges. To address these problems the purpose of education in Ghana must shift from training graduates to seek jobs to creating jobs. The same educational system that produces the mass unemployed youth cannot be the one that takes them out of the problem. There is the need for an alternative, and pragmatic solution. It is to achieve this goal that New Life Entrepreneurship Training Centre(NLETC) has come. We seek to align education with job creation and poverty reduction through entrepreneurship/ TVET education and training. The establishment of the training centre is based on the philosophy that individuals who pass through the institution should become entrepreneurs, leaders and business owners.
