Assin Fosu National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) is one of several others currently benefiting from a government move to construct hostel facilities and renovate existing ones at all the 38 National Vocational Training Institutes in the country.
RETAFRICA’s checks reveal a new wave of construction activities currently blowing at the campuses of these educational institutions trusted to help provide solutions to the unemployment situation in the country.
The yet to be commissioned facilities at Assin Fosu National Vocational Training Institute are expected to ease the accommodation problems that have bedeviled the school with over-one thousand student population. A new two-hundred-bed capacity boys' dormitory and a hundred bed facility for girls have been completed.
Workshops for almost all trade areas, including building and construction, general electrician, carpentry and joinery, motor vehicle mechanic, and dressmaking catering service, have also been provided to the school.
These facilities, according to a tutor who spoke to RETAFRICA on condition of anonymity, said the school, and several others benefiting from the move by the government, would churn out employable graduates and address the manpower needs of the country.
According to our sources, similar work is currently ongoing at the Winneba National Vocational Training Institute, where work on the project has been delayed.
