The Executive Officer of The Dress Factory, Ms Clementina Xorlali Tettey has encouraged young women in the formal sector to learn an additional trade or skill to complement their various professions.
This, she said,would help themearn extra incometo support what comes from their professions.
Such additional incomes, according to her can be used to pay bills, or buy some items of convenience to support the home.
Ms. Tettey gave the advice in an interview with The Spectator on Tuesday about suggestions on how women could empower themselves financially.
She said it was important for young women to make the best out of every good opportunity available instead of making excuses because they would not be young and strong forever.
Ms Tettey noted that learning a trade or skill comes with numerous advantages since nobody could take away that skill from the learner.
According to her, the days when apprenticeship or learning a trade was considered a preserve forschool drop-outs was a thing of the past.
“When you learn a skill and you do a good job to satisfy your clients, you would make money every day to support yourself and your home” she said.
She disclosed that her current crop of students even included university graduates who were gainfully employed and family women.
“What this also mean is that it is never too late to learn.”
According to her,she encourages people who have no plans of going to school or continuing their education to explore the possibility of learning a trade.
“I learnt a trade years ago but as time went on, I pursued my dream of going to the universityto study, so it is never too late to learn” she said.
She also called on young people to take advantage of any least opportunity to upgrade themselves with courses which are short and free.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
