Yei Municipality Mayoress called on 106 graduates of Yei Vocational Training Centre on Wednesday to seek ways of self employment instead of relying on government employment.
Oba Cecilia Tito said government recruitment opportunities were limited to accommodate many people, Easter Radio reported.
She encouraged women to be multipurpose and not to depend on tailoring as the only job to earn their living.
Ms Oba warned that tailoring might not settle all their demands.
The Mayoress appreciated the Norwegian Peoples Aid for supporting the vocational centre since its establishment in 2007
Civil Society Development project manager Nina Pedersen urged the graduates to put the knowledge acquired into practice.
