TEZZA Academy, Nigeria and Accra Institute of Technology (AIT) Ghana are set to partner in order to foster knowledge in Information Technology (IT).
Ms Oluwatomi Etta, Communication Specialist, Tezza Academy, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Etta said that the partnership would also bring talent exchange, research advancements, and cultural understanding between the two institutions.
The President of AIT, Prof. Clement Dzidonu speaking after a facility tour at Tezza academy said the partnership could open opportunities for the two organizations in both countries leading to internships and job opportunities.
Dzidonu said that it would also provide industry-sponsored projects to address one of the growing challenges on the continent for closing knowledge gaps and nurturing highly skilled IT professionals across sectors.
Dzidonu described the academy as a fitting model for instilling industry-required skills into young people especially graduates of tertiary institutions.
He expressed keen interest in introducing a Tezza initiative in Accra while laying the groundwork for a potential partnership with Tezza Academy.
The president said this would allow AIT to leverage its well-regarded status and vast network in Ghana to facilitate placements for the programme’s graduates.
According to him, AIT will, among other things, explore a Ghanaian Immersive Programme in Accra with the same class size as Tezza Academy’s current cohort.
“Work out placement facilitation in recognition of the challenges faced by university-taught programmes in engaging graduates.
“The strategic alliance aims to connect the brightest talents from various universities in Ghana to Tezza Academy’s immersive program, ensuring career pathways for young professionals.
“This exchange programme could further promote cultural diversity and provide students with a broader perspective on technology and innovation in different contexts within Ghana and Nigeria,” Dzidonu said.
