The University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (USTED) held its first Career Connect fair in Kumasi, Ghana, aiming to better align academic training with industry needs. The two-day event facilitated connections between students and potential employers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. Organized by USTED’s Centre for Business Incubation and Innovation, in collaboration with the Education Collaborative, the fair focused on providing students with practical career development resources. Key opportunities included internships, mentorship programs, and networking events. The initiative seeks to equip students with the skills and connections necessary to navigate a changing job market. USTED hopes the fair will become a regular event, strengthening the relationship between the university and the professional world.
