Management reforms as well as the learning and development needs of the Cayman Islands Civil Service and to carry out research. The CICSC is currently offering degree programs through the auspices of the University College of the Cayman Islands.

The practical model of the Cayman reform program was New Zealand. The intent of founding the college is to deliver a framework whereby civil servants could learn to excel and, moreover, Caymanians could be assisted toward building the appropriate competencies to regularly seek out higher civil service offices. The College also has a regional focus meant to assist and partner with other governments in their efforts to implement pragmatic implementation of good governance reforms.
