The Provost of the College of Humanities, Prof. Daniel Frimpong Ofori has successfully launched the Provost’s Internal Internship (PIINT) Programme for the College of Humanities, following the recent launch of the UG Internship Policy. The Provost announced the successful commencement of the program in a short meeting held with the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah-Amfo, on 16th November 2023, at the presentation of the maiden edition of the College of Humanities Annual Report. In his submission, Prof. Ofori stated that a first set of five interns had been recruited to intern in the College Communications Office. They are: Christine Asantewa Twerefou (BSc.

The  Provost further indicated that plans were underway to roll out the program on a larger scale, with the aim of recruiting additional interns from schools, institutes and centres and placing them in  units across the College as well as within UG. In her response, the Vice Chancellor was elated that the UG Internship Policy was being implemented at the College level. She noted that in the past, many policies launched by the university had not been properly implemented and hoped that the UG Internship Policy would not be one of such. She expressed her delight at the prospects of implementing the internship policy and its ability to integrate experiential learning, emotional intelligence and other soft skills into the training of students at the University of Ghana to make them more competitive in the job market.
