A total of 1,806 of the students were offered a course in Business Technology, 488 for Higher National Diploma, 398 for diploma and 32 Master of Technology programme.
At the 30th matriculation ceremony, Professor Kwaku Adutwum Ayim Boakye, the Vice Chancellor of the University, said the establishment of CCTU was driven by the government’s agenda to groom students to tap into the technological and innovative world and fit into the existing job market for development.
He told the matriculants that choosing the University was their gateway to receiving the requisite training that would enable them to become globally competitive citizens.
Prof. Boakye, therefore, reminded the students of their aims and aspirations of enrolling in the University.
On new academic programmes, the Vice Chancellor said the University had introduced three programmes namely; graphic design and multimedia studies, cloud computing, and library studies.
He urged the students to be ambassadors of these programmes and set high academic standards to encourage others to opt for such courses.
Prof. Boakye announced that the University was in the process of establishing a Skill Development Unit to shape students’ character for the discover of their passion and develop their expertise focusing on skills, creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration.
He advised the students to make all the difference, open new experiences, embrace the power of learning and believe in themselves to enable them to pursue their dreams.
