Graduates who are unemployed are urged by Professor Emeritus Stephen Adei to take control of their education by signing up for an apprenticeship to learn a new trade.
According to him, doing so will help the graduates establish themselves while also providing employment opportunities for others.
On the Springboard Virtual University segment with Albert Ocran on July 24, Professor Adei stated that a person’s intellectual capacity is all that higher education serves to develop. On the program, he said this.
According to him, persons with educations will do well in the craft business since they can employ their larger brains there.
A former GIMPA dean described how one of his former pupils, whom he assisted in starting a handicraft business and enrolling in college, is now working for 17 other individuals.
“Some of them must be willing to reskill. When you finish Legon excuse me to say with political science…I don’t say [it is not important]. For me, all the degrees build your mind intellectually.
“But how many people have advertised and said I want a political scientist to employ. No, but your mental capacity has been enhanced. If you want to go and learn apprenticeship, I tell you within a year you are a master craft man in an area and you are the type who will be able to employ other people.
“I got a young man in upholstery. Fortunately, he was doing it by the roadside. I encouraged him to go to university, finish and do other things. Today he came to my house, he is employing 17 people doing chairs.
“But you having finished History, you will go and be their apprentice for two years and you have the capacity of setting up your joinery and you will employ other people. Very soon you will not be the one hitting the nails. So, the reskilling is important for you to do,” Professor Adei emphasized.
