Dr. David Yevugah started his career as a pupil teacher in 2002 after graduating from senior high school. David joined the Ghana Police Service in 2004 and served as a police officer for 12 years and resigned as a police corporal to join Keda Ghana Ceramics company limited in 2016 as the Human Resource Manager. After a lot of hard work, David was promoted to the Director of Corporate Affairs & Human Resources in May 2023. What I enjoy most about my job is the career progression opportunities, innovation, and decision-making. Separately from these professional experiences, David also has over 14 years of experience in Academia as an Adjunct Lecturer at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
I started studying ABE in 2008 whilst I was in the Ghana Police Service. I chose ABE because of the learning resources it offers. It meant I could catch up on my studies in between working. I also checked with UK universities about which qualifications were recognised for progression and they all recognised ABE. ABE Qualification is recognised worldwide. The destiny for the development of Africa and the world as a whole depends on practical and professional education and this can be achieved through studying ABE.
