The Theresa Nah Institute of Health Science and Technology has embarked on its second circle of the chemical technology empowerment program, in order to address some of the challenges confronting the forward match of the Liberian society. Already, a huge number of the Liberian population is unemployed due to the lack of vocational skills to fill the existing gaps.
On August 18, 2022, scores of women from across Rehab, Nickey’s Town Road community, gathered in their numbers for the official launch of the second circle of the Theresa Nah Institute of Health Science and Technology’s chemical technology program.
The school provides accelerated vocational training programs in two phases of its chemical technology initiative. Phase-one is a short-term program and phase-two is the long-term program. The short-term program is for a one-month period, and is free of charge, while the long-term program is an advanced level program that requires a longer time at the school.
Participants at the occasion, mostly women, commended the school’s administration and its founders for bringing the opportunity to their door stairs.
According to them, living in Liberia is becoming very challenging, but the coming in of an empowerment program may help them fight poverty.
The chemical technology program is also part of the many programs offered by the Theresa Nah Institute of Health Science and Technology.
Participants at circle two of the chemical technology program will learn, free of charge, how to produce standard washing soap, quality bathing soap, liquid soap and chloral.
Speaking to the participants during the opening of circle two, Moses Bundor, Acting President of Theresa Nah Institute of Health Science and Technology, noted that the accelerated program was designed by the school to enhance the economic and social status of the people of Liberia, especially the unemployed, school dropout, and the disabled community.
Participants enrolled in the accelerated program were vetted through an evaluation conducted by authorities of the school.
Sgt. Eric Oppong Twum and his wife, Sierra Twum, who both live abroad, told the Hot Pepper that their development initiatives in the country are designed to address some of the challenges in the society.
According to them, Liberia deserves better, and that they will make use of the existing opportunity to help Liberia reach its goals.
