Kaizer Raphael Tetteh: A beacon of hope and determination in “The Top Intern” 2024

Kaizer Raphael Tetteh, a graduate from the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), has made headlines by winning the 2024 edition of TV3’s inaugural reality show, “The Top Intern.”

His journey to victory was not an easy one, but his exceptional master plan, christened “The Savanna Glow Project,” set him apart. This project aims to provide a long-term solution to the rural-urban migration of women from Northern Ghana seeking greener pastures.

Kaizer’s presentation caught the eye of many, including the presidential candidate for the opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, who was in attendance, to donate the first seed money to the Savanna Glow project.

The skills and knowledge he acquired from UPSA were instrumental in developing his master plan and navigating the challenges of the competition.

His understanding of public relations and business management principles undoubtedly contributed to the effectiveness of his project and his overall performance in the competition.

The Department of Communications Studies and the Faculty of Information Technology and Communications Studies at UPSA have played a pivotal role in shaping Kaizer’s journey.

The rigorous academic and professional training they provided equipped Kaizer with the necessary skills to excel amid real-world challenges. UPSA’s motto, “Scholarship with Professionalism,” is a testament to the University’s commitment to providing students with the knowledge and skills they need through its masterclass sessions, Time with PR Practitioners and a vigorous practical-based industrial internship, all geared towards solving problems affecting the socio-economic development of Ghana.
