RMU, GMA gear up for 2025 Educational & Career Fair at RMU

The Regional Maritime University (RMU) in partnership with the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA) will host the 2025 Educational and Career Fair on April 8-9, under the theme, “Guiding tomorrow’s leaders to career choices in the maritime industry.”

The two-day event would provide the platform to foster meaningful interactions among students, faculty, maritime professionals, university partners and industry experts.

Speaking ahead of the event, the chairman of the Planning Commit­tee, Dr Eric Duncan explained that the fair would not only highlight the educational opportunities at RMU but also promote collaboration between the university and a diverse range of stakeholders.

A key feature of the event, he not­ed, would be the keynote address by Mrs Magdalene Ofori-Addai, a distin­guished Maritime Administrator, who would speak on the theme of the fair, offering her insights into the evolving maritime industry and its role in shap­ing future leaders.

He said, several other prominent speakers would also address critical topics affecting the maritime and environmental sectors.

He mentioned that, a Maritime Asso­ciate and Climate Champion, Madam Ogbugo, would make a presentation titled “The Role of Africa in Global Ef­forts to Tackle Climate Change,” dis­cussing the continent’s contributions to combating environmental challeng­es while the Executive Director of Plastic Punch, Mr Richmond Kennedy Quarcoo, would provide a compelling analysis of environmental pollution in Ghana, with a focus on practical solutions for mitigating waste and pollution in maritime settings.

In addition he said, the Head of the Department of Electrical/Electronics at RMU, Dr Isaac Owusu-Nyarko, would present on the university’s Solar Farm project, exploring its future and the potential for sustainable energy solu­tions in the maritime industry.

A standout feature of the event, he stressed, would be a special presen­tation by the RMU Vocational Skills Training Centre (VSTC), highlighting its key role in equipping students with industry-relevant skills.

A major highlight of the event he disclosed, would be the honouring of individuals who have made significant contributions to the growth of RMU and the maritime industry for their outstanding dedication and achieve­ments.

The guest speaker for the event, Mrs Ofori-Addai, expressed optimism about the fair and committed to sup­porting the noble initiative that would bring young people closer to a credi­ble career path.
