PA Project UBW - AGI/KNUST in Ghana

The project aims to enable AGI and KNUST, through organizational development measures, to offer new and innovative education and training programs on sustainability and "green" production for industrial companies and their employees as well as students. For this purpose, e-learning methods are to be used, which will complement existing study programs in KNUST and expand AGI's service portfolio. The trained employees and students are to implement smaller projects in companies, which will directly contribute to the implementation of what has been learned as well as positive sustainability effects. This is to be supported by a network (or cluster) of companies in Ghana, that - similar to the network of the "Plattform Umwelttechnik" initiated by UBW in Germany - works on the topics of environment and sustainability.
