The
City of London Business
College, situated
at Seven Sisters,
North London, was
established in 1990
to combat the lack
of opportunities
suffered by members
of the black ethnic
minorities in that
part of the city
and their consequent
underachievement.
Over
the years, the college
has remained focused
and produced many
achievers. Numerous
merits and distinctions
have been gained
through the college's
Information Technology
and Business Management
examinations, not
to mention the internationally
acclaimed gold medals
that students have
won in such subject
disciplines like
arithmetic and communication
skills in 2001 and
2002 foundation diploma
examinations with
the Institute for
the Management of
Information Systems.
Graduates
from this college
have generally either
moved on to various
higher educational
institutions of learning,
or entered work placement
schemes through NVQ
and GNVQ health and
social care professional
courses. The college
has also produced
highly skilled hair
design, cosmetology
and dressmaking professionals.
At
the college certificate
and presentation
ceremony, marking
the 13th Anniversay,
in June 2003, it
became evident that
students are offered
the best opportunities
for them to develop
their academic and
professional skills
by virtue of the
certificates and
special awards they
received.
Present
to grace the occasion
was His Excellency
Isaac Osei, Ghana's
High Commissioner
to the United Kingdom,
who stressed the
increasing demand
for well qualified
professionals. Her
worshipful the Mayor
of Haringey, London,
in the United Kingdom
attended the occasion.
The
principal of the
College, the managment
and the teaching
staff, reflect with
pride their commitment
in the past in providing
the students with
the requisite training
that equips them
to compete comfortably
in the market place,
enabling them to
command decent salaries
and improve their
lives.
Today,
City of London Business
College stands out
as one of the leading
ethnic minority-managed
professional institutions
in the United Kingdom
and surely a dream
institution for people
determined to foster
their growth and
development through
learning.
