The graduation ceremony was held at the Lehakoe Sports and Recreational Centre. This was their first physical graduation ceremony since the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Present at the event was Queen \u2019Masenate Mohato Seeiso alongside Prime Minister Matekane as guests of honour. The university chairman from Malaysia, Dato Raja Aznil, congratulated the class of 2022 graduates and welcomed them on their new journey.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s theme \u201cDesigning your future\u201d, assured the 973 new graduates to take on their future with confidence. The Vice-Chancellor of Limkokwing University, Advocate Tefo Macheli, said the university has churned out job creators instead of job seekers as well as future leaders of the economy.<\/p>\n<p>All the graduates came from six different faculties of the university. The Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Education and Training, Dr John Oliphant, said Lesotho is waiting to see how these graduates will contribute towards the country\u2019s future development.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the 936 students who formed part of the graduating class of 2022, 593 were part of an internship programme, out of which 40 were placed in-house at the Limkokwing Entrepreneurship Acceleration Platform (LEAP) and 553 of them went for internship in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>The LEAP programme is an initiative by Limkokwing University, which advocates for interns to learn more about the industry. LEAP also helps the interns learn how to establish their own businesses.<\/p>\n<p>It also delivers industry-ready and fully employable graduates who will in the near future undertake leadership roles in industry. The university said this year\u2019s graduates also included students from the newly introduced Tvet programme which was launched in 2020 and has been running successfully for two years now.<\/p>\n<p>The Tvet programme consists of five Certificates in Innovative Travel and Tourism, Certificate in Business Information Technology, Certificate in Graphic Design, Certificate in Marketing and Certificate in Architectural Technology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
