Mrs. Theodosia Jackson, an Educationist, has implored technical and vocational education graduates to demonstrate seriousness in their work.

She said they should also be truthful to their customers, avoiding all forms of malpractices that could hamper their progress.

Mrs. Jackson, who was addressing a graduation ceremony in Kumasi, noted that, discipline at the workplace was critical to achieving corporate objectives.

The ceremony saw 91 youth who had undergone the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) MFS II Programme of the SOS Children's Villages, receiving certificates.

The trainees, drawn from the Asokore-Mampong Municipality, received a year's training in electrical, catering, ICT, dressmaking, masonry, door sliding and auto-mechanics, among others.

Mrs. Jackson said in an era, where unemployment had become rampant, technical and vocational education ought to be strengthened in providing avenues of hope to the desperate youth.Ms. Mavis Ekpe, the MFS II Kumasi Project Coordinator, said the training forms part of the Children's Villages Family Strengthening Programme, aimed at providing community and social interventions to the underprivileged.
