The CLEC is a non-for-profit organisation that runs leadership and professional development programmes designed to equip unemployed graduates with employable and other requisite skills to enable them to find alternative career opportunities and be relevant to the labour market.

It was also to instill good leadership qualities and help them make the right choices at the tertiary level and build their ego with the “can do spirit”. It was on the theme: “My Career - My Life,” aimed at revealing some challenges that many graduates go through in their careers and how they could be resolved.

Among the challenges are graduate unemployment, fear of starting a business, career neglect, unpaid and unsatisfactory jobs.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,” and “Vision and Goal Setting and Entrepreneurship.”

Pastor Seth Ameyaw Danquah, the Director of CLEC Ghana, speaking at the launch of the programme at Adiembra Senior High School, said the lack of proper mentoring of students may result in ruining their future careers. He said the programme would be held in 10 senior high schools in the metropolis to empower students to fulfill their career dreams.

Pastor Danquah said the society had a huge role to play in shaping the future of the younger generation adding: "we need to empower them to develop the confidence in becoming who they want to be." He urged the students to take a cue from David in the Bible who lived to serve his generation and endeavour to learn new skills.

“Don’t look down on yourselves, it does not matter where you’re coming from …you have great potentials.”
