CoRe has given me hope for a great future career.
Solomon was a final year student at the University of Ghana who had challenges with paying his school fees due to the inability to get a job during the pandemic. However, he managed to sail through and is getting ready for the world of work while poised to make continuous learning a lifestyle.
Solomon Tetteh Okornoe is my name. I was a student before COVID-19 broke out, but I have now completed and am doing my national service.
The impact of COVID-19 on my education was unbearable. I have always had to work to earn some income to pay my school fees, but I found it particularly difficult getting a job during the pandemic. It was quite a desperate situation because I needed to pay my final year fees before I could take any exams in the university.
The CoRe mentoring programme has taught me never to give up on my dreams but be strong and equip myself to bounce back anytime I am faced with challenges. I learnt a lot about how to manage pressures at the workplace, dealing with real life challenges. I also gained a wealth of knowledge on savings and investments.
I intend to make continuous learning a part of my life as I prepare for the world of work after service. I believe that with the new knowledge acquired, I will reach the pinnacle of success in my chosen career. CoRe is a blessing sent straight from God.
