The University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Maxwell Investment Group Limited and its partners to enhance student development through practical skills training, job placement opportunities, and industry exposure.

The landmark agreement, signed under the leadership of the Dean of UGBS, Prof Justice Bawole, marks a strategic move to bridge the gap between academia and industry, ensuring that students graduate with the skills and experience needed to thrive in today’s competitive job market.

“This partnership reflects our deep commitment to producing future-ready graduates who are not only academically sound but also equipped with the competencies needed to create impact in the world of work,” Prof. Bawole said at the signing ceremony.

Through this collaboration, students will benefit from internships, mentorship programmes, industry-led workshops, and entrepreneurial development initiatives, all aimed at enhancing their employability and fostering innovation among the youth.

The agreement is expected to open new doors for UGBS students by creating direct pathways into the corporate world, while promoting youth empowerment and national development.
