The government has been entreated to incentivize businesses to invest in educational partnerships and research.
This, according to the founder of the Accra Business School, Bishop Gideon Titi Offei, is to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
He explains this can be done through effective policies monitored by an institution to solve the unemployment menace in the country.
Speaking at the 15th Congregation of the Accra Business School, he maintained that a deliberate effort must be made by stakeholders across all sectors to address unemployment.
"Supportive policies from the government is crucial. We urged the government to formulate policies that promote the integration of academic learning with industry needs. Such policies can provide incentives for business to invest in educational partnerships and research".
“This when done can create a fertile ground for innovation and economic growth", he said
Meanwhile former Prime Minister of the Northern Ireland, Baroness Arlene Foster urged the students to be resilient in their operations.
"Resilience is key in whatever is in our line of duty. We need to possess that leadership qualities in whatever we do", she said.
A total of 350 students were awarded various degrees and diplomas by the Accra Business School at its 15th congregation held in Accra.
Accra Business School is a prestigious Christian Business School accredited to offer globally recognized postgraduate, undergraduate, and professional programmes in a Christ-centered scholarly environment that integrates faith and learning.
