Mid Career Management Course (MCMC)

The Government of Balochistan had long felt the need for an indigenous training institution to address the gap in training management and capacity building of the civil servants in the province. This idea was finally materialized with the establishment of Balochistan Civil Services Academy (BCSA) in February, 2023. The main goal of the Academy is the professional development of provincial civil servants to improve their knowledge, abilities, and professional skills to enable them to serve the public better by carrying out their jobs and obligations effectively towards policy formulation and execution in the province. The Mid Career Management Course (MCMC) is designed to develop managerial leadership skills of mid-career officers by providing the participants a multidimensional training that combines knowledge of public administration, policymaking, and management principles with experiential learning experiences. The course will equip the participants with tools and procedures they need to develop, implement, and assess policies. This includes assisting them in better understanding the process of formulating, evaluating and implementing policies.
