ZimTrade, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), will host the Executive Development Programme on International Trade from 9-13 March 2015 at the Holiday Inn, Bulawayo. This session follows the successful hosting of a similar event in Harare in November 2014.
The programme is a customised training aimed at capacitating companies in order to develop and enhance their exporting skills. Some of the courses to be covered are: identifying and evaluating export markets; productivity enhancement techniques; enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs, global supply chain management; as well as rules of packaging, labelling and marketing in international markets.
Harare participants found the training to be very informative and enlightening.
"The IIFT training was very good and of substance to our current operating environment and I feel it will go a long way in assisting the Industry" HASTT Zimbabwe General Manager, Mr. Western Zimunya
"The training was an eye opener as it offered a wide range of practical experiences which assisted us in the understanding of key export marketing concepts." Mealie Brand Sales and Marketing Manager, Mrs. Eunice Chivunga
India, being a nation where SMEs play a crucial role in economic growth, can provide invaluable learning experiences for Zimbabwean companies.
The IIFT is an institution mandated by the Government of India to conduct customised capacity building programmes on international business in Africa. This initiative is a result of the India-Africa Summit held in 2008 where it was agreed to implement programmes aimed at accelerating economic growth of African countries through increased and competitive participation in international trade.
ZimTrade is very grateful for the facilitative role being played by the Indian Embassy in Harare in organising the training in Bulawayo.
Companies in Bulawayo, Matebeleland and the Midlands are urged to participate in this programme.
