The Apam Senior High School Old Students Association will on Saturday, organise a home-coming day to provide career guidance counseling to students of their alma mater.
The “day”, themed “Career counselling - the key to the right career choices”, will also offer the old students the platform to interact with students and tutors of the school.
Briefing the Ghana News Agency at Apam on Saturday, the president of, Ms Charlotte Obeng, said the association had carefully selected the theme because choosing the right career has been the greatest challenge confronting students.
She said there were many job opportunities in the country but because students did not pursue courses, which could make them access such jobs, many of them were roaming the streets crying for jobs.
Ms Obeng said before a student entered Senior High School, he or she must decide on what he or she wanted to be in future and must be helped to know the subjects he or she need to pursue to be able to achieve his or her heart’s desire.
She said because students were not well updated on career guidance they were most often found helpless.
Ms Obeng said 10 members of the association holding key positions in various professions, would take turns to brief the students on how they got to those positions.
She said the programme would be made an annual affair to assist the teachers in getting the students to make the right choices of careers.
Mr Archibold Kobena Fuah, the headmaster, praised the executives of the association for their efforts in promoting quality education in the school and the decision to provide the career counseling, for their younger conterparts.
He also acknowledged efforts of the past students in providing infrastructure to complement the existing ones to make students study in enabling environment.
Mr Fuah assured that the school would do everything to make the home-coming a success.
