'Vocational Training not for dropouts'

The Chief Executive Officer of Krafty Hospitality services, Sybil Ansah has called on government to extend its focus on the National Youth and Employment Program (NYEP) to supporting and providing a better platform for the youth to acquire technical and vocational skills in a more decentralized approach.
Speaking at the second anniversary and graduation of Krafty, Mrs. Ansah observed that a lot of people looked down on the catering and hospitality industry with the perception that it is meant for the dropouts.
“But let me assure you it’s the best industry for economic growth if given a bit of the attention other professions and industries are getting,” she added.
Mrs. Ansah also expressed the company’s enthusiasm about supporting the youth by helping them unearth their hidden talents to equip them with the confidence of exploring their potentials.
“It is our desire to help in providing a brighter and self-dependent future in raising the hopes of our youth as a whole,” she noted.
The Chairperson for the occasion, Vida Asante, also called on the graduates to be honest in all their dealings and “always go the extra mile to satisfy their clients as a satisfied customer will be an advertisement for them.”
In all, thirty-one caterers graduated with skills in sugar craft, floral and balloon decoration, cake and pastry making and catering services.
Krafty Hospitality services, established in July 1, 2009 has trained 95 students and has over the years, been giving scholarships to at least 5 people every year.
