GCTU Collaborates With 2nd Generation Information Technology Institute
GCTU has once again made further partnership strides by signing an MoU with 2nd Generation IT Institute on Tuesday, 30th April 2024. The partnership agreements were designed to create platforms to enhance students’ internship/skills training by way of improving student experiences at GCTU.
GCTU signed an MoU with 2nd Generation IT Institute, a firm which provides career support to help students succeed in their chosen IT paths. During the signing event, the CEO/Director, Mr. Fernard Kodzo Asamoah, extended his profound appreciation to the VC and Management for the partnership. He said, “I want to expand and I said to myself, GCTU is the best University to partner with and I am here.”
He indicated that there are smart and great students, but unfortunately, they lack hands-on experience. Mr. Asamoah emphasized that GCTU has the facilities in the area of ICT and his institution needs to collaborate with GCTU to provide professional development, internship and job opportunities for graduates of the two institutions.
In his brief remarks, the VC said, “We are happy for this partnership, we are a university of call when it comes to ICT training in Ghana, with the human capital needs for digitalization.” Prof. Afoakwa observed that since both institutions shared a common mandate, both would have a long-term relationship that would lead to the training of the manpower that Ghana so badly needs.
The VC signed the MoU on behalf of GCTU, while Mr. Asamoah signed for 2nd Generation IT Institute . The Industrial Liaison Office whose responsibility it is to source for opportunities from industry to enhance students’ practical training programmes, was heavily involved with the negotiations that engendered the MoUs.
