Fifty-three Bindura Nickel Corporation (BNC) staff members graduated with certificates in
Business Communication Skills and Finance for non-Finance Managers after undergoing a short course offered by Bindura University of Science Education’s (BUSE) Graduate School of Business (GSB) recently.
Twenty-four (24) graduate trainees and seventeen (17) middle managers were trained in
Business Communication Skills. Twelve (12) middle managers were trained in Finance for non-Finance Managers.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony held at the BNC headquarters, GSB Director Dr. Judith Mwenje said the aim of the course was to equip individuals with the necessary skills to navigate the complex landscape of business communication and financial management.
“In our ever-evolving globalized economy, effective communication skills and financial acumen are essential for success. The need for strong communication skills in the business arena cannot be overlooked,” said Dr Mwenje.
“Lack of effective communication hinders productivity, collaboration, and overall organizational success. Equipping individuals with comprehensive skills in business communication and financial management is essential to bridge this gap,” she emphasized.
BNC’s managing director Mr Thomas Luciano thanked the GSB for providing his staff with the training necessary to improve the running of his organisation.“My sincere thanks go to the Graduate School of Business for providing us with these courses which will improve the productivity capacity of BNC. We hope that you will provide us with more short courses so that we continuously up skill, he said.
He added, “I commend the staff members for balancing their work commitment and their
schooling obligations and urge them to continue to pursue personal academic development.”
BUSE’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof Eddie Mwenje said, in a speech read on his behalf by Pro-Vice
Chancellor, Prof. Christmas Denhere, “Business Communication Skills should foster a culture of collaboration and teamwork within the organization. I commend the BNC management for being cognizant of this reality by giving senior staff an opportunity to effectively position themselves for this ever-transforming working environment.”
The GSB offers several short courses which aim at capacitating professionals in advancing
their careers.
