Most technical universities in Ghana have recently begun paying much-needed attention to industrial attachment programs or exercises. This follows from their primary goal of educating students to develop the practical skills and pertinent competencies required for entering the workforce or starting their businesses. Most studies on the subject have emphasized the advantages of the exercise for students, host organizations, and academic institutions. The current study concentrated on observing participating organizations' attitudes in continuing the internship program and the advantages and difficulties these businesses have while taking on students on attachment. The article employed the descriptive-exploratory research survey design to execute the research. The findings from the paper revealed that participating organisations face four major challenges in accepting students on internship; inadequate space, health insurance cover for interns, poor attitude towards training and outmoded curricula.
This paper aims to examine the incidence of time delays in engagement schedules on campus. The study made use of past records of time delays in starting committee meetings of five colleges at a public university in Ghana. The study relied on secondary data extracted from minute and agenda files of college meetings. The Minitab package and Microsoft Spreadsheet were used to analyse the data. The statistical techniques used in the study were Markov prosses and Steady state probability. The results revealed that the College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences consistently start their meetings on-time in the long-run with the highest probability of approximately 0.810. Meetings of the College of Education is characterized with large delays in starting times in the long-run with the highest probability of approximately 0.812. Based on the results, the paper recommends that the colleges with higher possibility of starting their meetings ten minutes late should encourage its board or committee members to be prompt in attending to meeting/schedules. Additionally, the paper suggests that the management of the university should design an effective policy to ensure a rescheduling when a meeting delays for more than an hour.
