To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative processes, the Administrative Staff under the Registrar’s Offices of the University of Energy and Natural Resources have undergone training on contemporary administrative practices in higher education. The initiative aimed to equip participants with contemporary administrative practices in higher education settings.
Under the leadership of Dr. (Mrs) Georgina Asi Owusu, the Registrar of UENR, the training session was designed to ensure that administrative personnel remain abreast of current trends and best practices within the higher education landscape. Dr. Asi Owusu emphasized that the objective wasn’t solely focused on individual skill enhancement but rather on fostering a culture of excellence and innovation among the administrative staff.
