The CIAPS OBE Programmes according to Prof Kila “are Outcome Based Educational programmes

A major aim of the programme is to address the employability of many graduates and young people.
Rather than focusing on just theory and academic curriculum, CIAPS is working
with businesses and other various kinds of organisations and employers to
establish what kind of graduates these organisations and employers need, what
skills and knowledge these graduate should possess.

The programmes will also help young people and graduates familiarise themselves with the working

Many of the companies
working with CIAPS on these programmes

they find are just not ready for the work environment. CIAPS’ plan through its
fast track programmes is to bridge this gap by providing very practical
training for graduates and helping them reach employers.
