To accelerate the career development of trainees for better performance, Courteville Business Solutions Plc has successfully trained 25 new middle management trainee cadres.
The nine-month duration of training in a capacity development programme is designed to prepare them for the challenges of the job and macroeconomic environment.
In his remark, the firm’s Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Dr Bola Akindele, disclosed that this was the fifth set of graduates trained under the programme in the company.
He said: “As a company, we realised very early that there was a huge gap in knowledge and experience for those younger staff to occupy middle management positions in the organisation, so we decided on providing the requisite training that will adequately prepare them for the higher responsibilities.
“In addition, we designed the training that the graduates are exposed to, so that they are adequately prepared for the roles within our organization but also for greater roles in other businesses, Companies, and other life expectations,” he said.
The Pro-Chancellor of Summit University, Offa, Kwara State, and the Chairman of the graduation ceremony, Rafiu Ebiti, commended Courteville for providing such high-powered training to their staff, describing it as a rare opportunity that staff hardly find with many employers.
He reiterated that education has gone beyond acquiring knowledge, but the acquisition of technical skills. He re-emphasized the need to inculcate technical skills, vocational training, and the use of computers and technology in driving knowledge and deliveries of integrated education in Nigeria.
Chief Executive Officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprises, Dr Muda Yusuf in his keynote address titled ‘Managing The Business and Social Impact of Economic Reforms: Review of Current Reforms and Social Vulnerabilities’, stated that for businesses to survive the present harsh economic reforms, business owners must take the primary responsibility of navigating through the murky waters and finding strategies to scale through.
His words: “The strategies could be economic, social or political. It’s people that make things happen. You may not have the money, but you leverage on relationships, which money sometimes cannot buy.”
He stressed the importance of technology, which he described as the future of the world, and the ability to leverage it; he added that it was a big opportunity for greater achievement.
“The best academic graduates may not necessarily be the best in the business world, but with training such as this, it becomes easier to win in the business world,” Yusuf said. The best-graduating employees were given certificates, recognition, and awards for their performances.
