A.T.T.C. in Ghana's beautiful Accra City.



 

 

A.T.T.C., one of Ghana's Institution I call Centre for Excellence.


I am sure to have kept you in much suspense but it’s not really deliberate, it’s due to impromptu (as always) trips we embark upon from time to time which has actually become our lifestyle, it’s no more impromptu in our “own” diary and itinerary, it’s just who we are so okay let’s get to unraveling what A.T.T.C. is. Here we go.
A.T.T.C. means Accra Technical Training Centre and it’s located as the name implies in the beautiful city of Accra, Ghana, West Africa. 


It was a huge out pour of rich information from the very first day of our visit to this outstanding 
Institute right from the moment we were received by the goal – driven visionary, easy going, calm and very understanding Andrea Ehben of Ghana Skills Development Initiative (GSDI) which is implemented on behalf of the German Government via the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit, GIZ, GmbH, in cooperation with the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET).

 Our first point of visit in ATTC is the principal’s office where we were warmly received by Mr. Clement Kwablah,  We started to chat the very quiet fatherly principal and it was explosive, little did I know that I was actually seated with a man of wealth of experience
the present principal of ATTC….wow! who had gone through a system we chatted about. You can only but watch this episode on A.T.T.C. to get a full experience

 We had a chat with the very reserved and gentle Vice Principal (Academics) too in the person of Mr. Arko Dometey.
Accra Technical Training Centre is nowhere short of an institute to be referred to as Centre for Excellence whereby students: Full time, Part time, Apprentices, Industrial Attachment are being trained to become world class materials. .
It is so fulfilling to know that even the Trade Associations are already involved with their members while in school as is revealed during our chat with the President of the Ghana Institution of Welding (Trade Association).

During these three days no angle/area of the school was left unseen because we were taken around by this passionate, energetic young man Alexander Osei, the H.O.D., Welding and Fabrication during our
visit/tour of this massive institution named A.T.T.C.

A.T.T.C. students are very accommodating and proud to be students of this Centre for Excellence, so much confidence is exuded from our chat with student. 

It’s here  at ATTC that for the first time, I met a lady who has become a guru in welding. Catch up with this mind blowing revelation on ATTC on this episode of CAMPUS SNEAK AFRICA on LoveworldSat.


 This female welder is so passionate about her career. She loves it, she started from the scratch as a student here at A.T.T.C, mother of three now lectures at A.T.T.C even as she is already eyeing her Phd in Welding and Fabrication.
Loved and adored by her husband and children, respected by the students of the institution and the community at large is now one of Ghana's most sought after female craftsman and educator.
Meet Eunice as you watch this episode on LOVEWORLDSAT.
Watch out for more details here. If you miss the original broadcast then you must not miss the repeat episode.


It was soooooo much fun and learning at the Accra Technical Training Centre, Accra, Ghana, West Africa.
Many thanks to Ghana Skills Development Initiative (GSDI) which is implemented on behalf of the German Government via the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit, GIZ, GmbH, in cooperation with the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET).
