The Youth Rising project funded by The European Union and Government of Sweden today launched a national song competition entitled “Youth Rising Song Competition: Let your Lyrics Inspire others”.
The competition, which is open to citizens of Liberia age 14-35, provides an opportunity for youth in Liberia to communicate lyrically the Importance of TVET and how young people especially women can benefit gainful employment through Technical Education.
Mr. Rogers Ndege, the CTA and Project Manager, announced the launch of the TVET Song competition today at his Monrovia office. “It’s always exciting to engage with young people, this competition is a fantastic opportunity for young people to use their talents to raise TVET career awareness and promote inclusive youth involvement in the TVET sector in Liberia,” Mr. Ndege stated.
Furthermore, Mr. Rahul De, Chief Executive Officer of Lonestar Cell MTN, believes technical vocational education is extremely important. “We must have men and women in technical fields to provide much-needed services for the country. This is particularly true within the world of telecoms to meet the demands of today’s digitally driven world. We are happy to support this important TVET Song Competition with our cell phone capabilities and social media platforms.
