Accra Technical University (ATU), in a bid to deepen the effort of enriching students’ practical learning experience has signed Memoranda of Understanding with eight companies that specialise in craftsmanship.

In a memorable ceremony held on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at the University’s Council Chamber, the University agreed with recognised players in the Fashion, Built, and Engineering industries to provide students with the needed hands-on training to equip them for the world of work. The industry partners included Beniels Designs, Alfie Designs, Royal Dennis, Samson Kreation, Shik Collection, Waxzin Textiles, Furnart Company Limited, and Kristo Asafo Technology Centre.

Addressing the gathering, Prof. Samuel Nii Odai, the Vice-Chancellor of ATU, expressed his joy for the collaboration. He said: “Today history has been made, for the number of MoUs that has been signed is a feather in the cup of both parties and would help students and youth of our country with the enhanced skills for nation building.”
