Graduates from Ghana's educational schools have been urged to think broadly and seize the opportunities now available in the workplace.
Prof. Ernest Aryeetey, the Secretary-General of the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), said that continued technological development had created a world awash in opportunities, from which many people were profiting remotely.
At the 7th congregation of the University of Health and Allied Sciences at Sokode-Etoe in the Volta Region on Saturday, Prof. Aryeetey gave advice to 829 graduating students.
Even though technology had a significantly greater beneficial influence on faculty-student contact in industrialised nations than in Ghana, Prof. Aryeetey said that the standard of instruction had remained consistent and produced graduates who were qualified for their jobs.
"Most of our programmes employ curriculum that is not all that dissimilar from those found in other parts of the world. The degree of involvement between staff and students may be where there is a difference, and that has been made possible by the use of modern technology, which is slowly making its way here, he added.
Use modern technology
He recommended that graduates remake themselves as marketable prospects for the global job market in order to equally adjust to shifting employment trends.
Although the nation required more health experts, he claimed that the present government institutions were not sufficiently advanced to offer job prospects to graduates.
However, due to government agreements, it has not been able to accommodate you, which means that the majority of you need to discover several sources of income or a means of subsistence, he said.
Today, he said, "it is possible to be a Ghanaian, live in Ghana, and use technology to influence your career outside of Ghana."
Achievements
Since its foundation in 2011, the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) has made significant progress in the health sciences and is also home to some of Ghana's top researchers, including its first vice chancellor, Prof. Fred Newton Binka.
Students from the institution won gold prizes in the international directed evolution competition and the competition for genetically engineered machines in 2022.
Additionally, the university received the Best Tertiary Education in Health and Sciences Award from Accra's 28 Credentials of Entrepreneurship.
Students also chose two Nursing and Midwifery Council prizes for 2023, while another chose the prize for the 2022 Ghana Pharmacy Qualifying Examination's top overall candidate.
Additionally, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has bestowed prizes, accolades, and posts on the university faculty.
