Angel El Rajah calls on Ghanaian youth to embrace skills training

The Founder of True Way Spiritual Church, Apostle Amoako Japhter, popularly known as Angel El Rajah, has urged Ghanaian youth to prioritise skills acquisition and entrepreneurship instead of depending entirely on government employment.

He said the growing demand for jobs makes it important for young people to look beyond formal employment and take advantage of opportunities to learn practical skills that can help them earn a living and build sustainable businesses.

According to him, acquiring a skill is one of the surest ways young people can become independent, create employment for themselves and contribute to the development of the country.

Apostle Amoako Japhter made the call when the Principal and Chief Executive Officer of High Lady Beautician School, Ms. Dorothy Bonsu, paid a courtesy call on him to formally invite him to the school's 3rd Graduation Celebration.

The event is scheduled for November 29, 2026, in recognition of students who have successfully completed their training at the institution.

During the meeting, the man of God commended Ms. Bonsu and the management of the school for their commitment to vocational education and the empowerment of young people.

He observed that skills training institutions have an important role to play in addressing youth unemployment, particularly by preparing young people with practical knowledge that can translate into real economic opportunities.

He encouraged the youth to take vocational training seriously, stressing that success should not be measured solely by academic qualifications or the ability to secure a government job.

He further urged young people who have acquired skills to put their knowledge into practice, remain dedicated to their chosen professions and take advantage of opportunities within their respective industries.

Ms. Dorothy Bonsu expressed her appreciation to Apostle Amoako Japhter for receiving her and accepting the invitation. She also highlighted the importance of celebrating the achievements of students who have invested their time and resources in acquiring professional skills.

High Lady Beautician School, located in Goaso in the Ahafo Region, is focused on providing practical training in beauty and cosmetology, equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to establish themselves in the beauty industry.

The school's third graduation ceremony is expected to bring together invited dignitaries, parents, industry stakeholders, well-wishers and other guests to celebrate the graduating students.

Beyond the celebration, the occasion will also draw attention to the importance of vocational and technical education in creating employment opportunities and empowering young people to become self-reliant.
