Isaac Awuah, also a trainer of the academy taught the participants composting and thermal energy recovery.

An excited participant, Alex Fordjour (Operations Assistant at the Nwabiagya Municipal Office) expressed his excitement for receiving such a comprehensive training which covers all the technical aspects of the works he undertakes at the district level.

The training was insightful and even though I hold a Bsc in Environmental Science from KNUST, my classroom training was not as insightful as I was thought by the trainers of the Jospong-Komptech Waste Academy”, he revealed.
