CEOs Engage with Students of School of Business

21 Mar, 2023 By DIS

The School of Business has organised the second edition of its Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) programme to engage with the corporate world.

The event was aimed at deepening the relationship between academia and industry to provide entrepreneurial and employment opportunities for students. 

The second edition of the programme featured the Head of Strategy and Transaction at EY Ghana, Mrs. Alice Osei Okrah and CEO of Think3ice LBG, Mrs. Yvonne Dzotsi.

Presenting  on the topic: " Infusing Environmental, Social Governance" Mrs. Alice Osei Okrah, explained the need for students to take Environmental, Social and Governance(ESG) seriously in their business endeavours, asking them to enrol in ESG courses. 

"ESG is a set of standards that checks how the operations of companies impact on the environment, how employees are treated and how companies uphold corporate governance," she explained.

Mrs. Okrah pointed out that ESG had become core part of the world of business and insisted that students should leverage on it to build their professional capacities. 

To her, it was essential for the School of Business to introduce ESG into its curriculum to imbibe the ESG agenda in students.  

She explained that hordes of people in the business industry had adopted and integrated ESG strategies into their business operations.

Mrs. Okrah admitted that ESG was expensive in the short term, however, she was quick to add that there were numerous benefits in the long term. 

She disclosed that the Bank of Ghana and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had launched special guidelines to check agencies under them, stressing that, " ESG enhances resource efficiency and sustainable production and consumption and financial institutions look favorably on entities with such policies." 

Mrs. Okrah pointed out that goals 16 and 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) fit into the ESG principles. 

For her part, the CEO of Think3ice LBG, Mrs. Yvonne Dzotsi, who presented on:" Skills for Job Skills for Development”, emphasised the need for students to develop both hard and soft skills to fit into the competitive job market. 

 According to her, employers were no longer interested in academic certificates of job seekers, but considered the requisite skills of job hunters as the basis for engaging new staff. 

"There are millions of students who are just as intelligent as you are. But what is going to make you stand out is the skill you have. You can attain various skills online and by attending workshops. Employers are not looking for certificates now, that is old school.," she added

The Dean of the School of Business, Professor John Gatsi, in his welcome address, reiterated the commitment of the School to develop the right skills of students for the job market.

 

 

 

He said the School had placed premium on internships to equip students with the required work experience. 

He, therefore, appealed to industry stakeholders to support the School with internship opportunities to enable students to improve and develop their skills to meet their expectations. 

The Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof Rosemond Boohene, encouraged the students to build networks with business magnates to open chances for them in the business world.

BCOM (Procurement and Supply Chain Management) Programme receives CILT Accreditation

17 Mar, 2023 By DIS

Students of the School of Business, University of Cape Coast, reading Bachelor of Commerce (Procurement and Supply Chain Management) will graduate with a competitive edge over their colleagues reading the same programme in other institutions.

Following the accreditation of the programme by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), students reading BCOM (Procurement and Supply Chain Management) will now graduate as associate members as the programme is mapped to CILT qualification.

 

Dean, School of Business, Prof Gatsi (5th from right) with some members of faculty and the CILT delegation

 

Dean of the School of Business, Prof. John Gartchie Gatsi (Esq.) receiving a delegation from CILT to handover the accreditation certificate urged all departments and centres at UCC to apply for accreditation from professional groups for all of their programmes. This, he noted, would provide their students a competitive advantage over students from other schools.

He said the BCOM (Procurement and Supply Chain Management) programme was accredited by two professional bodies within procurement, supply chain, logistics and transport adding that it would encourage prospective applicants to be attracted to the programme.

UCC Faculty of Law holds 10th Roll Call Ceremony

16 Mar, 2023 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast Facultyof Law has held its10th Roll Call ceremony for newly admitted students for the 2022/23 academic year.

The Roll Call ceremony is an annual programme organised to induct fresh law students into the Faculty.

A total of 103 students took the oath of honour which was administered by His Lordship Justice Emmanuel Kofi Diaba, a High Court Judge in Cape Coast.

Speaking at the programme, the Director of Legal Education at the Ghana School of Law, Mr. Yaw Oppong, called on students of the Faculty of Law to clear up the common misconception that the Law Entrance Examinations are difficult to pass.

According to him, the examinations were based on the subjects  taught by their lecturers at the Faculty of Law.

“So it is an assessment of what you have been taught and what you have learned in this school UCC,” he added.

Mr. Oppong, therefore, cautioned the students against giving credence to the erroneous perceptions by past students of the Ghana School of Law.

“So don’t allow those who have finished the law school to cause you to have so much dreadful anxiety about examinations,” he implored them.

 Mr. Oppong revealed that the Independent Examination Committee (IEC), an institution created under the authority of Parliament in 2018, had the exclusive mandate of conducting and managing both entrance examinations for admission into the Ghana School of Law and all internal exams taken by law students.

Mr. Yaw Oppong

Mr. Yaw Oppong speaking at the ceremony

He encouraged the students to take their studies seriously and determined that they would pass the entrance examinations with distinction.

“Even if 10 people will be taken in a year, you must be the number one,” he stressed.

Mr. Oppong advised the law students to aspire to become professionals with integrity and should not let money motivate them to study law.

“Law is the potent tool to amass wealth. If you apply yourself diligently, money will be something that will reasonably follow you according to your need,” he added.

The Director urged them to show appreciation to their lecturers and desist from making mockery of their teachers during lectures.

The Dean of the Faculty of Law, Mrs. Julia Selman Ayetey, in her welcome address, expressed gratitude to the new students for choosing the Faculty.

Against that backdrop, she indicated that the core values of the Faculty – integrity, diligence and service – would be ingrained in them to enhance their legal study.

The Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rosemond Boohene, in a remark, advised the students to plan their study well so as to graduate with good grades.

She encouraged the students to be innovative and venture into entrepreneurship to create more employment opportunities after school.
