A/R: Bronnimann And Friends Foundation Graduates 10 Girls In Tailoring And Hairdressing

Bronnimann and Friends Foundation On-The-Job Training (OJT) is one of the most influential and well-established ways of teaching students the skills and knowledge needed to work in a professional environment especially girls have passed another milestone in its journey, after it graduated 10 girls with skills in which they can now use to earn income.  

The girls were trained on tailoring, hairdressing and make-up tutorial.

The graduation was held at Baaneakrom in Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region and attended by government officials, veteran educationists, entrepreneurs, parents and well-wishers and marked in colourful scenes with the creative comprehension of the students fascinatingly displayed throughout the ceremony.

A handful of graduates had the opportunity to individually showcase their creative designs in fashion parades as they dressed up in delicate Ghanaian traditional and stylish attires with some made out of bags and banana leaves, much to the appreciation of a cheerful audience.

Nana Osei Tutu Ababio,the Country Director of the institute, congratulated the students for striving and commitment to excellence and urged them to make good use of their skills in changing the economy of the country.

He said Lack of OJT often reduces the chances of a smooth transition between university and the labor market. As a result, several organizations give OJT to students before appointing them to full-time job positions.

He explained that

OJT is a type of training that is provided at the workplace. It helps students get direct experience in using tools, software, techniques, or equipment used in a live environment. As employees need different skills to accomplish their tasks, OJTs are customized to train students to acquire a specific skill set.

Generally, students acquire academic knowledge and develop specific skills before graduation.

Nana Kwame Manu, Baaneakrom Chief at his address, urged the girls to uphold skills education with seriousness because it is a viable means of generating wealth and a decent living.

He said OJT helps them to strengthen these skills and facilitates their career growth. Besides teaching students how to apply their knowledge and skills, the OJT introduces them to the company’s core values, mission, and vision. 

Mr.Osei Tutu Agyemang Jackson, the Secretary, also added that it is a precisely structured plan that consists of different job phases and procedures that new employees need to follow during their tenure within the company.

Some of the out going students shared with us the experience they have aquaird and promised to go home with all advises given.
