Over the past decade, Ghana has realized an unprecedented rise in the population of unemployed university graduates.
From independence in 1957 till almost a decade ago, there were three distinct universities. The University of Ghana, Legon was the only place to study the humanities, law, medicine, business, agriculture, allied sciences and arts.
The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology was reserved for those who wanted to study engineering, basic sciences, social sciences and other science related courses.
Obviously, University of Cape Coast was reserved for those who wanted to become professional teachers in the sciences, education, arts and mathematics.
Almost two decades now the country has experienced a drastic increase in the establishment of private universities and other related tertiary institutions which are recycling almost the same courses their affiliated universities are offering.
Many Academias have expressed grave concerns and describe the situation as a contributory factor to the growing unemployedgraduates, which appears to receive little or no attention.
However, in an effort to addressing this aged challenges Oxford Institute of Business & Journalism since its establishment in 2006 has taken steps to meet the needs of the students and prospective ones to be more relevant to their communities.
The institution is focused on practical and industrial oriented Programmes which will make students ready for the job market.
