The practical approach to student training is a special hallmark of Kumasi Polytechnic and the School of Business and Management Studies. The school has strong linkage with industry through the industrial attachment programme of the polytechnic. Students undertake at least 20 weeks to 6 months compulsory industrial training as a requirement for the award of the HND.  Various institutions and companies across the country accept our students for industrial attachment and this opens up employment opportunities for the products of the faculty after school.
