The initiative is aimed at equipping young persons with the requisite skillset and knowledge for the sanitary industry,
The state-of-the-art facility, established in partnership with the Accra Technical Training Centre, is expected to accommodate and train Ghanaian youth for successful plumbing careers in the sanitary industry whiles upgrading the skillset of already existing artisans in the field.

We are therefore confident this training facility would go a long way in ensuring that a host of already existing and trainee plumbers in Ghana are in touch with the latest trends and innovation of the sanitary industry,’’ he said.
