Way forward



AFRICAN ARK COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES (AACMS) is the future of skilled learning and the transformation of education in the region of East and Central Africa. The AACMS emerges at a time when the region is expressing the dire quest for development. Whereas significant technological advances have taken place in the labor market, the education sector has not embraced this in the training. Thus, the disconnect between training institutions and business & industry stands in the way for the needed development. AACMS aims to bridge this gap by producing graduates that are adaptable, lifelong learners, creative and provision of relevant knowledge, entrepreneurial and practical skills. The new AACMS will achieve these objectives through implementing a state of art infrastructure, sourcing exceptional national and international academic staff, developing long standing relationships with reputable international institutions and increase student rounded learning experience.

In implementing the College’s vision, mission and objectives of the AACMS, the Strategic Plan2012-2014 has been carefully formulated and developed to inform the promoters, partners and stakeholders about the College’s plans and vision for the future. The AACMS will continuously plan and develop new strategies from time to time to bring innovation and achieve international quality standards. This strategic plan forms the first step to progress the College and give momentum to the initiatives laid down for the next five years.

I urge all the stakeholders to make every effort to implement this strategic plan and enable the College achieve its objective of providing the much needed skilled education to the region.
