Some selected students had the opportunity to showcase their creative ideas and readiness for the job market through a mock interview conducted by the Recruitment, Training, and Development Manager, Daniel Danquah, Nana Ama Arthur (Talent Developer), and a representative of the university.

The fair attracted over a thousand students and employees of the university who familiarized themselves with the nature of their businesses and know the opportunities that exist for students and graduates.

Speaking on the motivation behind their support, the Recruitment, Training and Development Manager, Daniel Danquah said that TotalEnergies Ghana, has kept focus on education for so many years and thus supports a lot of educational initiatives and projects. He further added that ‘TotalEnergies offers yearly scholarships and financial aid to students of UMaT through their academic office.

The company opens its doors to about forty student interns from all universities to develop their skills and knowledge and equip them for the future.’ He further added that ‘the company since 2016 has put in place the Total Young Graduate programme, an 18-month programme which aims at developing the Ghanaian youth through training and capacity building with the mentorship of experts in the local Affiliate and other Total Affiliates.’ ‘For the past two years, Total Petroleum Ghana Limited has successfully developed eight young Ghanaians: four of them are to return back to Ghana after a successful programme in France, Kenya and Uganda; and the other four are set to leave for other Total Affiliates to continue the next phase of the programme.’
