The Ghana Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Service has held a two-day orientation for its newly recruited staff in Accra.
One hundred and seventy instructional and non-instructional recruits were taken through thought-provoking sessions on the TVET Service regulatory framework, soft skills and protocol, attitudinal change, quality assurance, human resource issues as well as the roles and responsibilities expected of staff to improve the image of TVET delivery in Ghana.
In her opening remarks, the Director-General of Ghana TVET Service, Mrs. Mawusi Nudekor Awity, tasked the new recruits to exhibit a high level of etiquette at the workplace and among stakeholders.
“Never adopt a casual attitude towards work, know how to speak; relate to your peers and superiors, employ telephone manners, be friendly with each other and be ambassadors of TVET Service worthy of emulation,” she admonished them.
President’s vision
In that direction, the Director-General indicated that President Akufo-Addo is keen on making the TVET sector the engine of growth in Ghana’s socio-economic development. She therefore tasked the staff to have the vision of the President in mind, as they begin work at their various institutions and departments.
Mr. David Prah, Deputy Director-General, indicated that the Service was formed in order to align the various agencies and departments that were under nine ministries that were providing Technical and Vocational Education and Training under one umbrella.
“Government, the Ministry and Management would provide all the necessary resources needed for the smooth operation of the TVET Service, and that we expect you our staff to give off your best,” the Deputy Director-General stated.
