UCC to Implement Public Manager Programme
Dr. Haldane Davies officially goes into the president's chair at University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) today, eager to implement a number of projects that, he expects, will not only expand the institution but increase its reputation and influence here and across the region.
Among them is a programme designed to develop high-quality public managers, something with which he is very familiar, having chaired the National Certified Public Manager Consortium in the United States.
"It's a programme that is across the United States; it's sort of similar to the UK civil service college, where we prepare public officers for further roles to serve as permanent secretaries, directors, department heads... about the running of government," Dr Davies told the Jamaica Observer in a recent interview.
