Scope of Activities

The aim of the Cyprus Productivity Centre (CPC) is to: 

1) increase productivity, both in the narrow sense of "labour productivity", and, also in respect of capital, raw materials and plant and equipment utilisation, 

2) up-grade the managerial capability and skills in the private and public sectors at all levels, in Cyprus and other developing countries, through management development courses and seminars and through ab-initio programs, which aim specifically at the employment of university graduates as professional managers and secondary school graduates as supervisors,

3)  up-grade the skills of technicians through up-grading training programs, and train unskilled persons in various vocational trades, through ab-initio accelerated training programs, 

4) improve the structure and functioning of private and public organisations by undertaking, upon request, management consultancy and technical advisory, as well as services research projects in all areas of management.

Brève présentation du champ d’intervention de l’organisation

Short presentation of the institution

The Cyprus Productivity Centre (CPC) was established in 1963 by the Cyprus Government, with assistance from the United Nations Development Program and the International Labour Office; the relevant co-operation agreement expired on 30th November 1974 and the Government has since taken over completely the operation of the Centre.

Administratively, the CPC is a Department of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance. 

The Centre's original long-term objective "to assist private and public organisations to utilise their human and capital resources in the best possible manner, with a view to increasing their productivity", still remains valid today. However, it has lately been modified to be in line with the national goals for economic growth and development and expanded to include the needs of the Cyprus Civil Service, as well as those of other developing countries.
