In order to help four technical universities include the necessary skill development that would prepare students for the current sector, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture's Ghana Tourism Development Project (GTDP) has donated equipment for hospitality training.
Cape Coast Technical University, Accra Technical University (ATU), Kumasi Technical University, and Tamale Technical University were the recipients of World Bank funding.
At a ceremony last Thursday (May 4), computers, laptops, projectors, air conditioners, fans, freezers, seats, tables, and ovens were some of the supplies given to the schools.
In addition, there were beds and mattresses, television sets, printers, frying pans, microwaves, kitchen sinks, blenders, cake mixers, frying pans, and washing machines, among other things.
Additionally, the exercise took place at the same time as the Lower Management Training Program's instruction to give pupils instruction that will improve their ability to get employment, sustain a living, and generate wealth.

Dr. James Antwi, CEO of Consciental Limited and project consultant, stated that this was done to make sure students have the knowledge and abilities necessary to satisfy the needs of both domestic and foreign visitors.
We assessed the training and equipment needs, engaged stakeholders, and created training modules as consultants, which led to the creation of equipment. Over the following four weeks, hands-on instruction will be provided, he stated.
He also praised the stakeholders for serving as the project's foundation.
The Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture's leadership and assistance made this initiative possible. and the Project Coordinating Unit, as well as culture. I also want to acknowledge the part that organizations that teach people hospitality skills have played in this endeavor. Their dedication to providing our pupils with top-notch instruction will determine the project's success, he added.
The pro-vice-chancellor of ATU, Amevi Acakpovi, PhD, also expressed gratitude to the tourism ministry for the action, which would undoubtedly improve the efficacy of practical training.
Professor Gabriel Eshun, the GTDP's Technical Advisor, said that tourism, of which hospitality is a component, is the key to growth and shouldn't be taken for granted.
He said the equipment donated to the schools was like a seed that was meant to develop and have an impact.
