Young Leaders Development Initiative takes off
This week the Young Leaders Development Initiative started off with a bang. Twelve participants selected from a number of SLHTA member companies earlier this year, commenced a program of training with the SLHTA. The project, financed by the Tourism Enhancement Fund will ensure that these employees with leadership potential are exposed to a wide variety of training and development exercises provided by local trainers, making them top contenders for Management opportunities with their respective business houses. The two-year training commenced this week with Effective Communication Skills for Managers delivered by The Human Development Network. Upon completion of the training participants were energized and excited for the next round of training set to take place next month. Commenting on the experience one participant noted
“It was an extremely great forum. We were able to express ourselves freely whilst partaking in the course. We listened and were listened to as well. Communication was excellent!”
