The Ghana Technical and Vocational Education and Training (GTVET) have pledged to empower youth in mining communities with practical skills to combat illegal mining. By providing hands-on training according to GTVET, it aims to offer an alternative livelihood to those involved in illicit mining, ultimately curbing the menace.
In an interview at the 50th Anniversary Conference of the Conference of Managers of Education Units (COMEU), GTVET’s Director General, David Prah, hinted at plans to collaborate with COMEU and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to equip youth in mining communities with employable skills to curb illegal mining.
