Vocational Education and Training Institutes in Ghana are currently modernizing their curricula to better align with market needs and attract more students.

ACET Senior Policy Analyst, @jorgeboat, has contributed to this vital discourse through his co-authored chapter in the book Private Sector Development in an Emerging World. In Chapter 11, "Aligning the Vocational Curriculum with Job and Business Opportunities in Ghana’s Chocolate and Cocoa Drink Industry," George and his colleagues explore how Ghana’s educational institutions can redesign curricula to tap into new opportunities in the cocoa sector.
