Introduction
Addis Ababa University Training and Consultancy Center
Since its establishment in March 1950, Addis Ababa University (AAU) has contributed a lot to the development of the intellectual and skilled human resource of the nation. In order to be more relevant to the needs of the nation, over the last few years, the university has been undertaking a comprehensive reform process striving towards excellence not only in teaching and research but also in community services. In this regard, the need for provision of short term training and consultancy services guided by unified policy and procedures has been emphasized. Since Addis Ababa University is a comprehensive University encompassing all fields studies and professions. Organized under the office of Resource Mobilization and Generation wing of the Office of Vice President for Institutional Development, Training and Consultancy Center has been recognized as one of the core bodies of the University. The main objective of the Center is to coordinate provision of training and consultancy services to various government sectors, industries, business organizations, development agencies and social institutions by engaging faculty members of the university. We strongly believe that through this exercise, the university not only plays a significant role in capacity building efforts of the nation, but also generates additional revenue to support the various programs and activities of the University. Currently, the AAU Training and Consultancy Center has finished its preparation to launch training and consultancy programs in various areas. This Training and Consultancy Catalogue comprises two sections. The first section presents 523 broad areas of training and consultancy services that would be further tailored on the basis of the needs of potential clients, while the second one presents 21 target-oriented training topics, for which general modules have already been prepared. Duration of short term training programs at AAU extend from five to ten days.
