Kwadaso Agric College students turn ideas into market-ready agribusiness under CB-VET Ghana project
Innovation, entrepreneurship and practical skills are increasingly becoming the foundation of modern Agricultural Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) in Ghana, a shift clearly demonstrated by the CB-VET Ghana Project.
The CB-VET Ghana Project has transformed Kwadaso Agric College students into market-ready agribusiness entrepreneurs through innovation, entrepreneurship and practical skills. Over the past three years, more than 500 students have undergone an intensive entrepreneurship and business incubation program, resulting in the development, implementation and exhibition of eco-friendly agribusiness products.
Lecturers were trained in modern teaching methods, while students learned hands-on product development, costing, branding, packaging and pitching business ideas to investors. The EU-funded Erasmus+ initiative, now modernised to ATVET, aims to create skilled agricultural graduates who can respond to climate change, modern technologies, food processing and sustainable agribusiness demands.
Principal Albert Appiah Amoako highlighted the importance of practical, entrepreneurial, digitally responsive education aligned with industry needs. The project has strengthened collaboration among training institutions, industry, government agencies and stakeholders to improve graduate employability and entrepreneurship. Students have developed processed foods, packaged farm produce, digital farming solutions and climate-smart innovations, demonstrating the practical application of classroom learning to real market demands.
