The customers in Europe are looking for large and more complex projects. This requires additional skills in software architecture, in digital, project management, teaming, agile methodology etc., and AmaliTech is prepared to bring this kind of knowledge at the training centre to the people. We are starting here in Takoradi, the Western Region. We believe this is the best place to start and we have the strong intent to grow further into other parts of Ghana\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Martin Hecker, added that AmaliTech\u2019s free-ICT training which is expected to start by the last quarter of this year would select applicants from across Ghana via online for a world-class ICT training with private sector sponsorship, and the trainees upon completion of the one year training would be hired to provide ICT solutions to global companies who are AmaliTech\u2019s customers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-536282\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Takoradi-Technical-University-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The Vice-Chancellor of TTU, Reverend Professor John Frank Eshun told <strong>Citi News<\/strong> that the collaboration with AmaliTech would propel TTU to achieve its mandate of training the right technical professionals for Ghana\u2019s industrialization and job creation agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe at TTU are delighted to collaborate with AmaliTech Ghana, one of the leading IT firms in the world.
