OPEN COLLEGE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP(OCENT)

FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK

Welcome to the Open College of Entrepreneurship (OCENT). We invite you to visit us at any time - in person or through this site - to explore the life of getting effective entrepreneurship education for employability. Quality of education in most of the developing countries is compromised and the educational institutions are just producing graduates with a degree but without the required skills. On the other hand, the job market requires skills as most recently Google has waived the requirement for a degree or diploma and they are focusing on skills. I believe that a degree from a good institution embeds skills but this may not be the case in most of the institutions in developing countries.

OCENT is indeed known for its innovative employability curriculum; we offer Nigerians the advanced knowledge and practical skills required to identify, recognise, assess, seize, shape, create and exploit new opportunities, as well as develop entrepreneurial management and leadership competencies that can be applied to any professional field of their choice. With an emphasis on employability skills embedded into the experience, our students understand that entrepreneurship education and wealth creation are not mutually exclusive, but instead integral to each other. The fundamental entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial mindset they cultivate at OCENT equip them to make a difference here at OCENT and around the world. OCENT has identified several fundamental strategies that make our approach to teaching and learning unique, relevant and engaging. In accordance with William Pollard, “learning and innovation go hand in hand, it is arrogance of success for one to think what he did yesterday would be sufficient for tomorrow”. We need a new generation of professional entrepreneurs, who are more customer centric, technology savvy, more highly qualified, flexible and agile with skill sets that are now more comprehensive than previously.

At OCENT, we resist the pressure to conduct entrepreneurship education the way it has always been done. We challenge existing beliefs so that we only keep what works, and reimagine the rest.We focus on giving you a holistic experience designed to make you a successful entrepreneur, leader and a better citizen of the world. Come and experience recognised internationally-competitive Curriculum, Affordable Programmes and Flexible Learning.
