Some graduates of the University of Cape Coast are changing the narrative of the school to a ‘Constant Creativity’ by leading the entrepreneurship/industrialisation drive of the country.

Ranking first in Ghana, West Africa, and 4th in Africa in 2022, it comes with no shock at all that the school has footprints across the most prominent institutional leadership across the country and over the world.

The university, for the past decades, has produced prominent and successful business moguls and industry giants for the country and the world as a whole and should serve as a motivating factor to enroll in the university.

The university should also by now be honoring its heroes to improve the University's brand positioning to attract more students.

Key among notable industry giants that happen to be alumni of UCC include the founder of Ekumfi Fruits and Juices Limited who have contributed immensely to the growth of the economy. The factory has created over 5000 direct and indirect jobs for the community and the country at large. Ekumfi Juice is presently exporting to the United States market, bringing in some foreign exchange into the country.

The factory since its establishment has transformed the lives of some illegal mining or ‘galamsey’ operators after they signed onto the alternative livelihood schemes.

With UCC graduates leaving indelible marks and creating numerous job opportunities in their various fields of endeavours, the school will attract more students and promote its highly valuable virtues for national growth if it is well positioned.

The school, through its alumni, has proven reasonably without a doubt, that it can incubate and build Ghana's next set of resilient graduates who can promote and sustain the Ghanaian economy.
