The Catholic Bishop of Sunyani, Monsignor Matthew Kwesi Gyamfi, urged young people not to be in a hurry to succeed or get rich without using legal means.
According to him, such movements will have undesirable consequences for themselves and their families. He said they should instead crave calculated steps because they work hard, and that will result in success.
Most Reverends Gyamfi were speaking at a graduation ceremony in Sunyani, on the theme; “Skills development and training for the economic revitalization of Covid-19 for young people and vulnerable people”.
34 students graduated after completing six months of intensive professional training at Pax Garments in Sunyani.
The Ghanaian Cedis Million Skills Training Project was sponsored by the Ministry of Finance through the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference (GCBC) with an agency, Charitas Ghana and Pax Garments.
The initiative aims to train young men and women to acquire professional skills to start a business, as Covid-19 puts many people out of work.
The Catholic bishop urged graduates to practice their skills and not look for white-collar job opportunities because they have the skills to start working.
He further urged them to be innovative and to stand out with their creativity, as the working environment, he added, is very competitive.
Madame Justina Owusu-Banahene, Regional Minister for Bono, has warned graduate students to be mindful of their actions towards everyone they meet. She said that with the right attitude and the right character, they would be successful.
“The type of character they exhibit will also have a ripple effect on society, so they should strive to have a good character,” she added.
Rev. Lazarus Anondee, the executive secretary of GCBC, promised the graduates that they would receive start-up capital that would allow them to start their businesses.
“In doing so, they should unleash their potential by getting started, and gradually they can grow their business. This will allow the government to collect tax revenues from these companies to develop the country, ”he said.
Rev. Peter Oppong Kumi, CEO of Pax Garments, also urged the graduates to be good ambassadors for the initiative so that other stakeholders can also join us in supporting the project.
He further advised those still in training to imitate the outgoing students by diligently learning how to successfully graduate as well.
Augustina Atimbire, a beneficiary, praised the project and called for the initiative to be extended to a large number of people.
