SKILL ACQUISITION AND EMPOWERMENT
Acquisition of additional skills meant to make one self-reliant and independent is called skill acquisition. Government has embarked on so many acquisition programmes for youths and the unemployed. Vocational skill acquisition centers are being built to encourage people to learn skills in order to be self-employed and to reduce the level of poverty and unemployment in the society.
Skills that can be learnt include: rearing of snails, poultry, piggery, catfish, sewing, baking and bush meat farming. Others are cash and food crop production, (soap, disinfectants, pomade, liquid soap, akwette, adire, tie and dye), textile making and weaving and many more.
SELF ACTUALISATION
This is the development and use of one’s skills and talents to become independent and self-reliant. In other words, it is the ability to do things without depending on others for help, direction and sustenance.
We have several examples of people who made use of their skills to attain self-actualization such as Jesus the carpenter’s son, the Apostles as fishermen.
SUB-TOPIC 1: JESUS THE CARPENTER’S SON
