The Vice-Chancellor of Hensard University, Professor Dileep Kumar, has said the private university is poised to give unique training to its students that will transform them to entrepreneurs and wealth creators on graduation.
He noted that one of the ways to address the challenge of unemployability of graduates in Nigeria was to equip students with industry-oriented skills in line with international standards, which Kumar said is readily available to Hensard students.
The Vice-Chancellor in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, said the University located on River Forcados in Toru-Orua, Bayelsa State, has brought distinct innovations to higher education in Nigeria.
According to him, the University would foster collaborations and partnerships with reputable universities, institutions, and industries in ensuring the students draw from sources of knowledge from several points.
He also spoke on the Global Student Exchange Programme under which Hensard students would attend lectures in universities abroad as part of the dual certification process.
He added that some of the advantages students would enjoy from Hensard were dual certifications, international collaborations and partnerships that would ensure standards, and expose students to renowned mentors and leaders in various fields, globally.
Kumar, has had 21 years of international experiences garnered from teaching in universities in Netherlands, Belgium, Georgia, South Africa, UAE, Bahrain, Sultanate of Oman, Ukraine, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia and India.
