Addis Ababa, July 1, 2022 – Strathmore Business School(SBS) and Capital Business School(CBS) have entered into an exciting new partnership that aims at tackling the skills gap in corporate Ethiopia. CBS, launched in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2022 caters to corporate organisations looking to get customised executive business training for their employees.
Through these different types of executive trainings, employees will receive practical knowledge that will empower them to provide localised solutions to challenges faced by corporates in Ethiopia. Participants of CBS will also receive global accreditation through the highly-ranked programmes and distinguished instructors.
CBS has customised programmes that are tailor-made for organisations and their unique challenges. These courses are designed to fit executive levels. “Ethiopia is opening up very fast and now more than ever, we need our executives in Ethiopian organisations to be as sharp and polished as they need to be,” said Addis Alemayehou, Chairman, Kazana Group and CBS.
SBS is one of Africa’s top Business Schools that has developed transformational business leaders and has been at the forefront of innovation since inception. As the first university in Kenya to become ISO 9001:2000 certified. SBS aims to develop great leaders and in doing so, apply Strathmore University’s founding principle of leading society to greater development through service to all people without discrimination.
As Dr George NJenga the Dean of SBS mentioned at the signing ceremony “ At Strathmore, the values taken to core when enrolling students are: making them feel at home,being ethical and zero tolerance towards discrimination amongst students”. He also mentioned the need for regional collaboration in the whole of Africa in general and between Ethiopia and Kenya in particular. He has pointed out his commitment to replicate SBS’ success in Ethiopia in both the executive education and academic programmes.
CBS’s business to business programme delivers its trainings hybrid with both in-person and online sessions. These courses include extensive use of case studies and discussion based learning by Kenyan SBS. Our courses are targeted for company executives.
The reason for the expansion of this business school is the dearth of high quality training in a country where there are up to twenty two banks, eighteen insurance companies, more than fifty major state owned enterprises with high earnings, more than eighty major multinational companies and hundreds of big private limited companies are located in the capital and its regions. These corporations are sending executives to get the much needed courses abroad and now CBS will bridge that gap and deliver quality education right here in Ethiopia.
