The Graduate Centre for Management recently handed over certificates to hundreds of staff from the City of Cape Town and Extended Public Works.
Addressing the ceremony at the Bellville campus yesterday the City’s Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille says the best way to build a well-run city is maximizing the potential of city staff through effective training and development.
“We understand that if we invest in the people who work for the City, we are investing in service delivery, and in the provision of more opportunities for more of our people,” De Lille told the audience.
CPUT was awarded the tender to provide accredited Adult Education and Training to City staff with the objective of developing their communication, budget management, diversity management and decision-making skills.
“Today, 243 staff members have completed this training,” De Lille explained.
“This year it was decided that 216 EPWP (Expanded Public Works Programme) workers would also be afforded the opportunity to receive this training.”
Dean of the Faculty of Business, Prof Mzikayise Binza says CPUT has provided the city staff with knowledge that will contribute to their future success and advancement in the workplace.
“You have proven your ability to learn and dedicate yourselves and your time, to the achievement of a goal in your life,” he says.
Beryl Liebetrau, Acting Head of the Graduate Centre for Management, says it was a privilege to work with the city staff.
