Parents have been advised to register their wards in the Government Technical Colleges in the state in order to enhance their vocational and entrepreneurial skills to advance jobs creation in the State.

The Permanent Secretary, Board for Adults, Technical and Vocational Education, Dr. Aarinola Akinsete gave the advice during a monitoring tour to some  Government Technical Colleges and Skill Acquisition Centres in Ondo State.

The Permanent Secretary, according to statement from  the Media Officer in the State Education Sector, Goodluck  Akinyomi expressed satisfaction on the readiness of Staff and Students of the Colleges for the new academic session.

Akinsete lauded the State Government for making Technical and Vocational Education a priority for both Junior and Senior Secondary School leavers in the State. This, according to her, would certainly afford individual learners to acquire a trade job to enhance good living and be self- reliant.

The Permanent Secretary who further reiterated the need to partner the government in the development of the sector noted that the Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu led administration has committed huge investment on Technical Education in the State and parents should  embrace the opportunity for their wards to be part of the worthy course as Ondo state could not be left out of the modern World technological drive.

Commending the teachers for their Commitments and dedication, Akinsete charged them to redouble their efforts for collective realization of the Objectives.

Some of the Technical Colleges visited were Government Technical College, Idanre, Government Technical College, Oke-Igbo, Prospects High Schools, Akure and Ondo City and Skills Acquisition Centres in Akure and Ondo City.
