A NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION (NGO), Human Resource Network Programme (HRNP), in collaboration with the Students Representative Council (SRC) of the Ho Polytechnic has organised an industrial tour for students with a view to empowering them to become effective tools for economic development.
Dubbed: “Industrial 2010”, the students visited Nestle Ghana Limited and the Volta River Authority (VRA) to be familiar with the structures in various industries.
The initiative was part of efforts to make the students acclimatised to some realities on the field as a measure of preparing them for the job market after school.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic after the tour, the Chief Executive of the HRNP, Mr Albert Vodzi, said the primary objective was to raise competent and innovative leaders for economic growth and development. He said the objectives of the NGO, among others, were to sponsor primary education, especially in deprived communities and empower tertiary students to become effective tools for economic development.
Mr Vodzi called on individuals and the beneficiary communities to extend support to the NGO to enable it assist a large number of pupils so as to raise the standard of education and in effect reduce poverty in the country.
He said for now, five children were on the sponsorship of the NGO and added that the number would increase in the years ahead.
Mr Vodzi stated that at the VRA, the students visited the publicity department, plant and dam sites and at Nestle, they visited all the production sections of the company.
