Phase 1

All too soon phase 1 of the project has been submitted (last week). It wasn't as easy task though but that hurdle has been taken care of.

My topic revolves around entreprenuership promotion initiatives among young students and the target audience is the distance education teacher-trainee students in the basic and senior secondary schools. The project seeks to stimulate teachers to appreciate the need to create the interest among young graduates the desire to start their own busness ventures.

The unemployment phenomenon in Ghana has reached a very serious point and this is evident in the way young people run to metropolitan areas in search of clerical employments that are very limited. The public sector cannot employ all these young folks and government is overwhelmed with the phenomenon.

Teachers themselves should be able to understand the concept and its tenets to be able to teach it effectively. It is therefore necessary that teachers, (distance education teacher-trainees) in this regard are given a fair idea about the whole idea of entrepreneurship drive so that they can in effect, assist government efforts at creating employable skills among the youth.

I hope to be able to design an effective instruction at the end of the course to address this problem.
