The professional student is the hope of Ghana's employment revolution; primarily so because, all professional students graduate with at least one strong skill needed by industry. Whiles others complain of matching class room work with what is done on the job market, professionals can boast of regular lectures by industry players making us distinct from all other students.
By professional student, we do not only refer to GUPS institutions but students learning a particular subject that has a direct benefit to the core operations of an entity in the job market such as, Marketing, Accounting, Banking & Finance, Geological engineering, laboratory technician, carpentry, masonry, Teaching, nursing, pharmacy, herbal medicine, etc.
Today we will consider "The Professional student on the job market; challenges and solutions." And I will look at 11 basic challenges faced by professional students on the job market and profess solutions to them.
To begin with, the canker of unemployment requires that Entrepreneurship must be a free elective for all professional students to survive the job market. An accountant could go to the Makola market, set up a small desk and prepare accounts for the market women. Teach them how important it is to do book keeping, Introduce yourself to nearby banks and from then bankers will look at their financial statement before giving them loans. If u have 20 clients from the market and each pays you GHS 50 per month u will go home with a Ghc1,000 which is better than being unemployed.
Again, Credit availability is a challenge to many professionals in starting their own business, in this regard, I BOYE WILLIAMS recommend to professionals to raise money without bank loans eg. Borrow from family and friends with no interest and to me that is the best financing arrangement for starters.
Also, to build a versatile personality with capacity to withstand the shocks in employment, the professional student must possess the Relevant Job experience, quality communication skills, master the art of public speaking, know how to utilise modern technology in the discharge of duties, be able to withstand criticism, and be someone who understands the rudiments of research to make the best out of situations.
Finally, since this is only an excerpt of my lecture, i recommend that professional students build a solid social and professional network of friends because a major challenge in the modern job market is networking and having the requisite connections with other businesses whose operations are relevant to your current job, you therefore need to build a solid network with friends in Banks, DVLA, Police, Hospital, Market, Computer Dealers, Mechanics, plumbers, etc; whose expertise may be needed from time to time to speed up the pace of work.
In conclusion, the Professional student is cardinal to the RESTORATION of confidence in the economy and the provision of jobs for other colleagues, we therefore have to be very disciplined in all things because if we get all the keys right but without discipline, we can only be sure of a crash. But with discipline, we shall overcome.
Thank you
