Three-year VET Ecosystem for Employability in Ghana project ends with calls to keep its gains
A three-year project on vocational training and employability in Ghana has finished, and those at its final event want the vocational institutions involved to maintain what it achieved.
Why it matters: Vocational education and training institutions involved in the project are being urged to keep up its hands-on, entrepreneurial and industry-linked training.
Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) reported that the three-year VET Ecosystem for Employability in Ghana project has come to a close.
According to the university, those attending the final event urged that progress on hands-on training, entrepreneurship and links with industry be maintained.
The event assessed what the project achieved, put student innovations on display and considered ways for the vocational education and training (VET) institutions involved to extend its outcomes.
Giving the keynote, Dr David Anambam, Ashanti Regional Director of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, praised the project's focus on engaging industry and said farming requires graduates who can efficiently produce and process agricultural goods.
