The Customs, Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS) is giving more impetus to the training of its personnel to improve on their performance and enhance the modernisation drive of the service.
Mr Emmanuel Doku, Commissioner of the service, said last Friday that the service was confronted with challenges and temptations but the only way to overcome them was to improve the competencies and the skills of the personnel through regular training.
He was addressing the passing-out parade of 114 recruits who had completed 24 weeks of basic paramilitary/customs training course at the CEPS Academy at Agotime-Kpetoe in the Adaklu-Anyigbe District of the Volta Region.
“Through training, we will be better positioned to make a positive impact on our clients and stakeholders. It is the only way we can improve client satisfaction in today’s competitive business environment,” Mr Doku stated.
“If our strategic focus is to have an informed, multi-skilled and productive workforce capable of influencing and managing change, then we need to adopt a more balanced approach to training,” he added.
Mr Doku advised CEPS officials to develop a global perspective in their approach to work in view of challenges which had come about because of globalisation.
“In a global marketplace, we need global standards,” he stressed, adding that they must set their eyes on the world and broaden their horizon and do the profession good.”
The best all-round recruit was Mr Eric Boakye, a past student of Donkorkrom Senior High School, while Miss Perfect Ahamadzie was adjudged the best female recruit. The best academic recruit was Mr Yusif Mustapha while the best in physical training was Bright Asare.
