VOTEC Holds Fashion Show

Final-year students from the Department of Vocational and Technical Education (VOTEC) have exhibited exclusive designs at the annual fashion show.

With the latest hairstyles, the student models put on evening, corporate, casual and traditional clothing to showcase their creativity on the runway, leaving fashion enthusiasts in awe of their talent and craftsmanship.

The night, which also offered patrons the unique opportunity to appreciate the works of the student fashion designers, was interspersed with music.

According to the organisers of the fashion show, the government should invest more in Technical and Vocational Training Education (TVET). That, according to them, would no doubt endow students with the entrepreneurial skills needed to start one’s own business.

They debunked the popular misconception that the concept of TVET was meant for school dropouts or the unintelligent.

The final-year students promised to put the skills learned to good use after school.

The Head of the Department of VOTEC, Dr. (Mrs.) Patience Danquah Monnie said the mandate of the University would be fulfilled when students were able to set up their businesses with the entrepreneurial skills they had acquired.

She called on Ghanaians to patronise made-in-Ghana products to increase the demand for local clothes saying, “Ours should be our priorities, we should place more value on our local products.”
