Mission
Consistent with our founder, W P Glendon vision, Umbilo Skills Centre is dedicated to bring a wide variety of fields of education and training together under one roof, enabling the interchange and exchange of fresh and innovative ideas possible within an academic setup. According to Mr Glendon such an exchange could help set up the framework for genuinely interdisciplinary study and research, an innovative and open approach, leading to newer ways and methodologies of looking at and dealing with issues. We at Umbilo Skills Centre are convinced of the aptness of this vision, and is consistently on the lookout for more and better ways of integrating faculties, ideas, and capabilities.
