The Management of Accra Technical University (ATU) has entered into a strategic partnership with Silvadew Tech to provide its students with industry-focused digital training, globally recognised professional certifications, and better employment opportunities.
The partnership was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Monday, July 20, 2026, at the University.
Under the agreement, Silvadew Tech will introduce its E-University platform and a range of short professional courses at ATU. The programmes, which will run between two and eight weeks, will equip students with practical skills and award internationally recognised certificates that will improve their chances of securing jobs in Ghana and beyond.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of Silvadew Tech, Mr. Kwame Ampong, said the company works with organisations, particularly in the United States, to identify the skills employers need before developing training programmes. He explained that the partnership will help bridge the gap between education and industry by preparing students for both remote and on-site employment opportunities.
Mr. Ampong noted that the courses are designed to meet international standards and will give students practical skills that employers are looking for. He added that ATU will serve as a training centre for the delivery of the professional programmes under the partnership.
Vice-Chancellor of ATU, Professor Amevi Acakpovi, welcomed the partnership and stressed the need to train students for opportunities available within Ghana and across Africa. He proposed the creation of a database of available jobs in Ghana and the continent to help identify the skills employers require so that students can be trained to meet those needs.
Silvadew Tech is a technology, consulting, and professional training company that provides industry-focused training, digital transformation solutions, and career development programmes. The company has trained more than 5,000 individuals, works with over 200 corporate clients, and offers more than 500 professional certification courses to learners and organisations around the world.
