Speaking at the award ceremony, Kevin Osborn, the Technical Director of Accra Brewery Limited, said that 'Accra Brewery is once again happy to be sponsoring this award.

'We began the partnership with this institution in 2007 and each year, till date, we have students from this department coming into our business to undergo an internship. Two of the former students are currently employed by Accra Brewery.'

He added, 'We congratulate the award winners and hope they will continue to excel in their chosen careers, as well as remember the role Accra Brewery played in their development.'

The award winners also expressed sincere gratitude towards Accra Brewery's kind gesture, and for giving them the opportunity to work as interns with the company.

They also requested that Accra Brewery continues this activity and strengthens its relationship with the Food Processing Engineering department as well.

Accra Brewery Limited partnered the University of Ghana in October 2007, in order to expose students of the Food Process Engineering Department in the

Faculty of Engineering, to the theoretical and practical aspects of their field of study, as well as to enrich their learning experience.

Since the inception of this partnership, Accra Brewery has admitted level 300 students of the department as interns to undergo an 8-week programme on an annual basis.
