Great initiative.There's a market gap being addresed.That's a UniversityA+ agenda.

If I may ask, is this a skill gap in the job market here in Ghana?

Unfortunately, too little is done in the Agricultural (Goods).A low-tech country busily teaching and training (service sector) will have food inflation going high..

Mortuary Science is part of medical laboratory science or pathology but unfortunately it has been abandoned
