On Friday, 3rd May 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo cut sod for the construction of the MIIF Technical Training Centre on the campus of the George Grant University of Mines and Technology, in Tarkwa.
Scheduled to be completed in eight months, the Centre will have a 500-seater auditorium/lecture hall, a library and offices to support the running of practical programmes in metal smithing, jewellery technology, and hallmarking of jewellery to international standards, whilst exploring artificial intelligence and smart systems in mineral value addition.
The Training Centre will serve as a hub for excellence in mining-related education, research, and innovation, equipping our youth with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this critical sector and underscoring government’s commitment to developing a robust and sustainable mining industry.
