The Center for Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Communications (CLEC Ghana) has organised a mentorship program for final year students in the Senior High Schools located within the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis of the Western Region to instill in them good leadership qualities in order to live exemplary lives.
The program which was on the theme, “My Career – My Life aimed at revealing some challenges that many graduates go through later in their career.
It was to orientate and motivate participants to make the right choices in the area of discipline at the tertiary level and build their ego with the ‘can do spirit’.
The programmed also proved to them that the road does not end there with them in achieving their goals in life despite becoming a drop-out and provided strategies to overcome them or achieve their life goals.
Participants were taken through topics like what is a career, why should I be worried about a career, what should I consider before choosing a career, vision and goal setting, entrepreneurship, and making enquiries and making firsthand experiences among others.
Speaking to the media at the maiden edition of the program held at the Adiembra Senior High, Director of CLEC Ghana, Rev Seth Ameyaw Danquah said that, the lack of proper mentoring for students may result in them indulging in casual deeds that can ruin their future.
He disclosed that the program would be held in ten senior high schools in the metropolis to empower the final year students to aid them in the fulfillment of their career dreams and expressed the hope that participants will get the opportunity to understand the fundamental principles that bring about success.
According to Rev. Danquah, “we have a role to play in shaping the future of these young ones for the future of this country because it is our responsibility to empower them to develop a certain level of confidence in becoming who they want to be”.
He admonished the students to be like David who lived to serve his generation and urged them to endeavor to learn and improve themselves by adding value to themselves, acquiring new skills and attending seminars.
“Don’t look down upon yourself, it does not matter where you’re coming from, your family, town or tribe. Know that balloons do not fly because of their colors but what is in them and there are great potentials in you,” he advised.
