Our History
Almost 30 Years of History in Delivering Short-term Training to the Public Sector
The history of our training service goes back to the establishment of the University, the then Civil Service College, in 1996 having the mandate of building the capacity of Ethiopian civil service. The training services have gone through various structural reorganisations. Initially, in 1996, the training services were organised under Centre for Professional Development (CPD), which was renamed as Centre for Civil Service Leadership and Management Development (CCSLMD) to give due attention to the Civil Service Reform Programmes (CSRP) in 1997. By being a unit, in 2001, the training services were merged with the then Institute of Public Management and Development (IPMDS). In 2002, it evolved to a Centre called as Centre for Training and Consultancy (CTC) and placed under the office of academic vice president. By then, CTC had three training and consultancy teams where different training programmes were administered.
In 2016, the training services of the University along with consultancy were organised and led by a vice president level renamed as Training and Consultancy Division at Vice. Under the office of the vice president, the training and consultancy services of the university were run by four training and consultancy centres and two coordination directorates. Following the designation of the University as one of research universities in Ethiopia and adoption of Ministry of Education standardize structure, the training institute (TI) was established in 2023 with responsibilities of administering short term training services. TI is placed under Academic Vice President Office having equal status of colleges.
All in all, our university has nearly three decades of successful engagements with various public sector organizations at federal, regional and city administration levels to develop and deliver customized training programmes
