Just weeks after a local professional body utilised a high-profile forum to criticise the quality of graduates in a key discipline being produced by the University of Guyana (UG), one of the country’s leading business support organisations (BSOs) has praised the university for producing high-quality graduates in another discipline.
Senior Vice President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Lance Hinds, at an information and communication technology forum held at the Pegasus Hotel on Wednesday, June 12, lauded the work being done by the university’s Computer Science Department
Hinds’s commendation of the university for producing computer science graduates who are being sought after by local enterprises comes just weeks after last month’s blunt declaration by the Guyana Association of Professional Engineers (GAPE) that it was unhappy with the quality of engineering graduates from UG.
