Accra Technical University (ATU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ennobled Foundation at the University Council Chamber on Friday, 26th September 20.
Speaking at the brief signing ceremony, Professor Amevi Acakpovi, the Acting Vice-Chancellor of ATU, expressed gratitude to the foundation for extending a hand of partnership to the University. He noted that the agreement aligns with ATU’s vision of building strategic collaborations that enhance student experience and prepare them for the world of work.
Professor Acakpovi was optimistic that the collaboration would yield impactful initiatives that build capacity and create opportunities for ATU students to thrive.
The Dean of the Faculty of Business, Professor Elikem Chosniel Ocloo, who initiated the partnership, provided the background to the collaboration and underscored that it represents a step in the right direction. He noted that the initiative will ensure students graduate not only with sound academic knowledge but also with essential soft skills and practical competencies needed to excel in today’s world of work.
Adding his perspective, Professor Felix Kutsanedzie, the Acting Pro-Vice-Chancellor, observed that although it may be difficult to measure the outcomes of the initiative using strict parameters, the ability to transform students’ mindsets and shape them into responsible and impactful members of society would, in itself, be a significant achievement.
On her part, Mrs. Gloria Boye-Doku, the founder of the foundation, highlighted the organisation’s commitment to empowering young people through education, skills training, scholarships, and mentorship. She described the partnership with ATU as a significant step in equipping students with the tools to excel in a competitive and dynamic world.
As part of the new partnership, it is expected that an Ennobled Foundation Club will be established on the ATU campus to provide students with direct access to mentorship, skills development, and empowerment opportunities. The Ennobled Foundation is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting academic excellence, mentorship, and youth empowerment, with a growing network of over 200 mentees.
The signing was graced by some members of management and various Deans and Heads of Departments.
Professor Acakpovi signed on behalf of ATU, while Mrs. Boye-Doku did the same for her foundation.
