The primary aim of this book is to shed light on the vital role of technical and vocational courses in schools and their potential to lead to apprenticeships and ultimately secure better job opportunities for youth. The modern world is rapidly evolving, with technology advancing at an unprecedented pace. As a result, the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, demanding diverse skills and expertise. Our education system must adapt to these changes and equip students with the knowledge and skills to thrive professionally. Technical and vocational courses have often been undervalued or overlooked in favour of traditional academic pathways. However, they are the cornerstone of a well-rounded and adaptable education system. These courses provide students with practical skills and instill a strong work ethic, problem-solving abilities, and a keen understanding of industry-specific demands. My book will explore the significance of technical and vocational education, offering a comprehensive overview of the benefits it can provide. The book discusses how courses can lead to apprenticeships, an invaluable bridge between education and the job market. Apprenticeships allow students to gain hands-on experience, develop their skills, and establish a solid foundation for a promising career. The book serves as a guide and source of inspiration for youth, students, and parents, encouraging them to consider the many opportunities available through technical and vocational education. By focusing on these courses, we can empower our youth to make informed decisions about their future and embark on a path to secure better job prospects and a brighter tomorrow.

Serwaas life has become miserable because Yaappiah, the madman, would not stop chasing her about as his wife. Koomotey suggests that the family consults a spiritualist to help solve Serwaas problem at the cost of fifty million cedis. The family contributes the money and gives it to Koomotey, but he absconds with it, with the intention of going to Gabon. Meanwhile, after many years of scorn and pressure from Evelyns mother for her to divorce Joe, the couple still braves the storm until they are blessed with twins, a boy and a girl. Pressure on Abusuapanin from Koomoteys in-laws and Serwaas issue make him take refuge in Tweapiase where he impregnates Adwo, a cripple, young enough to be his granddaughter. Serwaa accuses Auntie Cornie of trying to destroy her life but Cornie maintains it was Serwaas greed that landed her into hot waters. The fracas leads to the two families being summoned to the palace, where Serwaa confesses to their plot against Joe. In her attempt to run away from possible punishment, Auntie Cornie ends up in Nigeria, where Koomotey had also incidentally become stranded.
