65% Graduate Job Placement Rate lauded
The Institute of Fine Arts (IBA) of the University of Dschang held its 4th Board of Directors meeting on the 12th December 2025 at the Institute’s Administrative Block. The meeting was chaired by the Rector of the University of Dschang, Prof. Roger Tsafack Nanfosso, who also serves as President of the Board of Directors.
An eight-point agenda focusing on the future direction of the Institute was examined. In his welcome address, the Rector commended the Institute for its 15 years of existence and its remarkable achievement of a 65% graduate insertion rate into the job market. He encouraged board members to support the University through realistic and sustainable partnerships aimed at promoting the Institute’s strengths. These partnerships, he noted, should foster the creation of internship programmes, job opportunities, and professional training platforms for students.
Prof. Tsafack Nanfosso also praised Prof. Amadou Monkaree, the newly appointed Director of the Institute, who assumed office several months ago. He urged him to bring his experience and expertise to bear on the management of the Institute, reaffirming the confidence placed in him by the Head of State.
