Cosmopolitan University of Abuja has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with four international organisations to foster an environment conducive to cultivating digital skills and entrepreneurial spirit among the students.
The four organisations are Cisco, a multinational technology company and Global Wissen Consult which specialises in Digital Entrepreneurship programmes.
Others are Confucius Institute for Mandarin to offer students the opportunity to learn Mandarin and foster cross-cultural understanding and Across Atlantic Development (AAD), a company dedicated to building a just and sustainable world by embarking on global projects and proffering solutions to business challenges.
While signing the MoU in Abuja yesterday, the vice chancellor of the university, Prof Carl Adams, said the partnerships are intended to prioritise experiential learning, equipping its students with the skills and mindset to navigate an ever-evolving landscape.
The university is one of the 37 newly approved private universities by former President Muhammadu Buhari in May 2023.
The vice chancellor said, „By collaborating with industry partners, we ensure our graduates are not just academically proficient but are also ready to make immediate contributions in their chosen fields.
„Our commitment to strategy and collaboration is ultimately a commitment to empowering the individuals who walk through our corridors every day. Education is not merely a transfer of knowledge; it is the catalyst for personal and societal transformation.“
According to him, the collaborations it embarks on are cross-disciplinary and designed to break down intellectual silos in order to encourage a cross-pollination of ideas.
