Power producer, Karpowership Ghana, has reaffirmed its commitment to building engineering capacity and advancing inclusion within Ghana’s energy sector.
It said engineering excellence was central to its operations and long-term strategy, and beyond delivering dependable power, the company continued to invest in developing the next generation of Ghanaian engineers.
The Communications Manager of Karpowership Ghana, Sandra Amarquaye, stated this at an event to mark World Engineering Day.
She stressed that as global attention turns to the vital contributions of engineers, the company remained steadfast in advancing engineering excellence, strengthening local capacity, and supporting sustainable development in Ghana.
World Engineering Day
This year’s commemoration, observed worldwide on the theme: “Shaping Our Sustainable Future Through Engineering”, the day underscored the critical role engineering plays in accelerating sustainable development, driving innovation, and supporting industrial growth.
In Ghana, engineering expertise remains fundamental to ensuring a reliable electricity supply and sustaining national progress.
Commitment
Ms Amarquaye said as part of Karpowership Ghana’s commitment, it continued to provide sponsorship for academically outstanding, but financially challenged engineering students at Takoradi Technical University (TTU), covering their tuition to remove financial barriers to higher education and strengthen the country’s technical talent pipeline.
The organisation also implements STEM mentorship programmes that connect students with experienced industry professionals who provide career guidance, technical insights, and leadership support.
Practical training
She further explained that in line with its broader inclusion agenda, Karpowership Ghana had introduced an all-female internship programme designed to increase women’s participation in engineering.
“The initiative is intended to offer hands-on industry experience and professional development opportunities aimed at addressing gender disparities within the energy sector,” Ms Amarquaye stated.
The Karpowership Ghana’s Communications Manager further emphasised that investing in people was integral to sustainable power delivery.
“This year’s World Engineering Day theme reminds us that engineering is central to building a sustainable future.
At Karpowership Ghana, we believe powering a nation goes beyond generating electricity — it requires intentional investment in people.
“Through our sponsorships, mentorship initiatives, educational tours, and our all-female internship programme, we are creating clear pathways for young engineers, particularly women, to actively shape Ghana’s energy future,” she said.
