April 23 - Official Opening Ceremony of SRC Week and Seminar by Rev. Fr. Dr. Moses Asaah Awinongya (SVD), President - ReCAS

Promoting Growth Through Innovative Tertiary Education

At exactly 3:00pm Steyler Bank Hall of St. Joseph Faculty Block was full of students and staff of ReCAS, who were waiting for delivery of a seminar to mark the 2nd SRC Week Celebration. Thanks to today's technology, Fr. Awinongya could join the session per Whats-app. He spoke on the topic:

Promoting Growth Through Innovative Tertiary Education.

In his delivery, Fr. Awinongya outlined the current state of tertiary education in Ghana and decried the phenomenon of institutions offering courses just for the sake of it. In his view, tertiary has the mandate of preparing the right manpower for a nation. It is thus important that emphasis is put on quality:

there should be desk for every student to sit for lectures; enough computers in computer laboratories; enough space and equipment in science laboratories and enough time for interaction between lecturers and students.

The ability to concentrate on the core mandate, would enable tertiary institutions to monitor and evaluate their contributions to the achievement of the core mandate. This would ensure that the right input is made into the building of the right human capacity.

He further highlighted with passion why ReCAS was created in a village but not in a city:

the purpose is not to make money but rather to bring development into that part of the country, which would otherwise have been forgotten of.

He did not hesitate to highlight the innovation in the conception of the programmes of study at ReCAS which pays attention to the component of

Sign Language as well as professional and career development courses.

The students were delighted to get more information on the possibility to creating student-led-firms as well as "Work and Study".

The seminar ended at 4:15pm with enthused and joyful faces of seminar participants.

April 25 - Seminar on Growth and Innovation in Business: The Experience of a Young Entrepreneur

By: Prince Siita Sofo

(Author, Speaker and CEO of NTV)

GROWTH AND INNOVATION IN BUSINESS: THE EXPERIENCE OF A YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR - REPORTED BY MICHAEL OSEI

Date : Wednesday, April 25, 2018.

Time : 12:00 Noon

Venue : Lions Club MS Deutschland Lt. Hall

Guest Speaker : Prince Siita Sofo, The CEO of Northern Television

As part of the second SRC week celebration of the Regentropfen College of Applied Sciences, both students and staff were treated to a seminar by Mr. Prince Sofo Siita on the topic "Growth and Innovation in Business: the Experience of a Young Entrepreneur".

This year's SRC Week celebration is under the theme

" Promoting Growth Through Innovative Tertiary Education".

The whole celebration is geared towards making students realize their potentials through innovation. To promote their growth as long as they exist in a tertiary institution and more importantly after their studies at the College are complete.

Prince Siita in his speech boosted up the morale of all students to think and act like great men and women to solve problems first to suit themselves and the various places they find themselves.

He admonished all who want to be rich as entrepreneurs to first think about making profits and in making profit as entrepreneurs, one should first of all need to COPY and copy wisely. According to him in copying someone's work you need to be smart and think critically. A perfect example was himself, setting up the Northern Television, because he noticed that we have a lot of television stations in Southern Ghana but none in the three Northern Regions and that he did that with the mindset that it was worth it. According to him that is real innovation and growth that all entrepreneurs must seek to look at because he has solved a problem.
Another intriguing aspect of his speech is the fact that every entrepreneur must listen to customers. listening to customers according to him is the only way to know, realize and correct the most occurring mistakes of which most of these mistakes are not even known or known but not much attention is paid to them. According to him innovation and growth does not necessarily mean doing new things but adding value to the very old things that have existed and making sure that the "outside world" makes meaning of the values one is adding to those old things. To be innovative as an entrepreneur means you must pay attention to your appearance and how well you are able to convince investors. He encouraged all to pay attention to their dressing and how they interact with people they need help or assistance from because it is through these means you win the heart of investors and others you would want support from.
In the concluding part of his speech, he encouraged all to have MENTORS. However, it is not enough to have mentors but it is necessary to take your mentor to launch when the need arises since at that launch table, you get the opportunity to learn more from him and even you get the chance to be promised because he or she is happy with you, and according to him this is the trick of innovation.

Finally, he made all aware that we need to be business minded in all we do because it is out of the small things we do that we get bigger opportunities. He encouraged us to take advantage of all resources here in ReCAS so as to create employment for others and not become slaves as employees to employers because growth is promoted out of the small businesses we shall create as students before we even complete our stay in this institution.
