creativity, self-reliance, service
The Centre for Vocational and Entrepreneurial Studies (CVES) at the International Institute of Tourism and Hospitality (IITH), Yenagoa, stands as a dynamic hub for skills acquisition, innovation, and enterprise development. Established as a strategic arm of the Institute, the Centre is dedicated to equipping individuals with practical, industry-relevant competencies that foster self-reliance, creativity, and sustainable economic participation.
At CVES, training goes beyond theory. Our programmes are designed with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, enabling participants to develop technical proficiency, entrepreneurial insight, and the confidence to create value in diverse sectors. The Centre plays a vital role in bridging the gap between formal education and real-world application, empowering both students and the wider community with skills that are immediately applicable and globally relevant.
Guided by national standards and best practices, CVES contributes meaningfully to manpower development by producing competent professionals, artisans, and entrepreneurs capable of driving innovation and economic growth within the Niger Delta and beyond.
