Academic Curriculum Must Reflect Industry Needs – Kwamina Asomaning

Asomaning highlighted the importance of ensuring that the academic curriculum is in line with the needs of industry players to ensure that students are equipped to make positive contributions in the professional space. He said, “The business school recently graduated over 14,000 students who will need jobs.

Internships have been utilized over the years to expose students to practical work related to their studies and careers.

They send their students to us to elicit key challenges that need solutions.

These are then factored into the training that the schools offer their students.

The projects address specific business or management issues with the students assigned to projects based on their interests, qualifications, and experience.  While the students gained invaluable practical international experience, we received high-quality professional consulting services under faculty supervision.

Is it possible for academia in Ghana to adopt such an initiative?”Kwamina Asomaning also commended the organizers for this initiative and encouraged them in their efforts to raise future-ready students.

The bank collaborated with the Women in STEM Ghana (WiSTEM) to train, equip and inspire 200 girls from 23 senior high schools to learn and develop their skills and knowledge in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
