The human resource expert gave three useful tips to help personnel who may be joining the growing number of unemployed graduates navigate through life after school.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, Dr Brenya said they have three options, which he listed as further studies, seeking employment, or entrepreneurship.

"The last option is what I would recommend but it is not very easy to set up, manage and operate a business. More businesses are not very easy to come by especially when the issue of capital comes in, but everything is possible. But focus on the three and see which of the areas... If I'm like you, I would start working on all three and if one of them bounces back to me then I work so honestly and faithfully with tenacity, at least the doors will open," he stated.
