The Executive Chairman of the IPMC Group, Amardeep Singh Hari, has unveiled a new partnership between IPMC University College and Harvard online, pointing out that it highlights the institution’s growing impact on Ghana’s technology ecosystem.

He says the collaboration will allow IPMC to deliver a suite of Harvard-curated courses in data science, artificial intelligence, leadership, and technology policy, offered through both online and classroom-assisted formats at selected centres across the country.

The move, he added, is aimed at giving Ghanaian learners access to content normally available only to students in some of the world’s most advanced technology institutions.



Speaking at the graduation of 600 students from IPMC University College, Hari said the agreement adds a new dimension to IPMC’s long-standing partnerships with NCC Education, the University of Greenwich, EC-Council Global, and Microsoft Learn for Educators.

He described it as a “significant step” in preparing Ghanaian students for a labour market increasingly shaped by automation, data-driven decision-making, and AI-driven business processes.

Founded in 1992, the IPMC Group has grown over three decades into one of West Africa’s largest data centre system integrators and a leading software developer supporting banks, insurers, manufacturers, retailers, and telecom-driven services.

Hari says IPMC’s systems now underpin many everyday activities in Ghana, from ATM withdrawals and buying electricity credits to mobile money transfers and shopping at major retail outlets.



“If you cash from the nearest ATM, there is a high probability of the transaction passing through one of the IPMC-built data centers,” he said.

“If you buy electricity units from ECG, again, your transaction is getting processed on an IPMC-built data center. The technologies deployed by IPMC have empowered many businesses that touch our daily lives.”

He encouraged the graduating class to see their own training as an extension of that tradition.

“What IPMC has been doing for the past three decades, you will be doing this in your very near future,” he said.

“We wish that each one of you achieves a similar success as the institution from which you have learnt these IT skills.”



Almost 600 students completed professional diploma programmes this year, while at least 60 finished undergraduate courses run with NCC Education and the University of Greenwich.

Seven students earned global distinctions, sweeping all the top positions in Africa with three first-place finishes, one second, and three third-place spots.

Hari said IPMC’s 93 percent pass rate reinforces its position as the leading NCC Education and University of Greenwich partner on the African continent.

IPMC also serves as an authorised examination centre for Pearson VUE and for ACCA, CFA, and IELTS exams run through the British Council.

Hari said about 3,500 candidates sat for examinations at IPMC centres this year, reinforcing the institution’s role in Ghana’s wider professional training system.



He highlighted the work of the IPMC AI Innovation Hub, now in its second year, which supported 320 student projects, produced 15 AI tools for business automation, and helped launch 22 tech start-ups that will qualify for seed funding once their business plans are vetted.

On employment, Hari said the annual IPMC job fair attracted companies such as Jobberman, CalBank, GTBank, Absa Bank, Dimension Data, and Ernst and Young, and resulted in about 110 direct job placements. Overall, he said, the college recorded an employment rate of 84 percent among its graduates, including one alumnus who secured a “record-breaking” hiring package of 850,000 cedis per year in the United Kingdom.

He added that the college had invested heavily in its teaching staff.

Fifty-two instructors qualified as Microsoft certified trainers, while 25 others completed cloud practitioner training through the AWS Academy.

Hari also emphasised the institution’s community outreach.

He mentioned a campus beautification upgrade across all IPMC centres, free AI workshops for agencies, including the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, the Police Service, the Fire Service, and the Ghana Revenue Authority.



Two hundred teachers from Nungua Senior High School and Adenta Presbyterian Senior High School received digital skills training, and 350 financially challenged students received scholarships worth 1.2 million cedis. IPMC has also started installing solar street lights in rural communities to support the national 24-hour economy agenda.

He ended his speech with a reflection on the promise and limits of artificial intelligence.

“Let us use AI tools wisely. Use it for the betterment of mankind,” he said.

“Through our works, let AI be known as Angel’s Intelligence and not become DI, the Devil’s Intelligence.”

He urged graduates to rely on their own judgment when using AI assistants.

“If you get work done from ChatGPT, it is good,” he said.

“But sit down, relax, read carefully examine what AI wrote for you. Edit it to make it look more human-like. Use HI, Human Intelligence. The beauty of this world is in imperfections. Let us continue to enjoy our imperfections and stay human.”
