On March 8th, visiting Instructors from Uganda's Bukalasa Agricultural College (BAC), together with their colleagues from Â鶹´«Ã½'s Faculty of Agriculture, launched the Uganda Skills Development Project, a World Bank funded twinning exercise between the two institutions.
The project, which runs from 2018-21, will see Â鶹´«Ã½ and BAC work together to establish the latter as a Centre of Excellence in competency based education and training (CBET).
The project launch brought together over 50 Â鶹´«Ã½ Faculty members,  staff and students who have participated in USDP activities, or intend to in the future and presented achievements and next steps. Â
Dean David Gray presented Certificates of Achievement to the five visiting instructors from Uganda who were engaged in a two-week curriculum training from February 24-March 10.
Reinforcing one of the project’s main themes of self-sustainability, Dr. Gray stated that “the curriculum being finalized for BAC maintains an entrepreneurial focus that will produce job-creators for Uganda’s agricultural sector, not just job seekers.â€Â
