Dr Bawumia cuts sod for the building of 32 TVET Institutions
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice-President of the Republic Monday, June 6, 2022 cut sod for work to begin on the construction of the 32 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions across the country.
In his address at the sod-cutting ceremony at Abrankese in the Ashanti Region, Dr Bawumia said the move forms part of the government’s effort to make Ghana a world-class centre for skills development and also make skills acquisition.
When completed, each region will have two modern centres to increase access to TVET education, as well as provide opportunities for skills acquisition and upgrading for practising artisans in order to meet the development needs.
The project, the Vice also said is expected to equip the youth with entrepreneurship skills; adopt the cooperative approach to skills training for the youth to create their own jobs; retrain current workers who have skill gaps.
“At the start of our administration in 2017, Akufo-Addo set out a clear plan to industrialize Ghana and one of the key pillars of that agenda is to revamp and modernize TVET so that it becomes responsive to the needs of industry,” he noted.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s right-hand man at the event also said the TVET project will comprise the establishment of One (1) TVET Centre of Excellence, 16 Category A Centres and 15 Category B Centres.
“All these institutions will be provided with a variety of infrastructure which ranges from administration blocks, accommodation facilities, common areas, playing grounds, furniture, fittings and external works, tools and equipment for workshops, and ICT,” he stated.

“The President’s goal is to make Ghana a world-class centre for skills development and a leading country in TVET delivery in Africa and also make skills acquisition aspirational for all Ghanaians,” Mr Mahamudu said on Monday.
