SANA'A, March 8 ) During the graduation ceremony of the first batch who completed the 90-hour course in marketing diploma at the Consultancy, Management & Training House, HE Acting Ambassador of Royal Netherlands to Yemen Roelof Buffinga showed interest of his country to train Yemeni students.
The Dutch diplomat briefed attendants on the different kinds of support extended by his country to boost small and medium-size enterprises in Yemen. According to him, small and medium enterprises in Yemen are affected by the spread of corruption and the violation of government laws.
“The CMT House provides management courses for Yemeni students to address demands of the labor market and these courses are projected to create around half a million job opportunities in the least developed country,” he went on. ” Students have learned how to advertise and make suitable pricelists for commodities, as well as how to invest in themselves and I expect them to apply what they have been taught in real-life situation.”
During his speech, the CMT House Manager delivered a speech in which he thanked the Embassy of Royal Netherlands, the International Finance Cooperation (IFC) and the Social Fund for Development (SFD) for their support that made the project a success. He congratulated students for successfully completing the 90-course in marketing diploma, which is part of their program “Business Edge in Yemen”
By the end of the ceremony, which was attended by a number of diplomats and SFD and IFC representatives, certificates of merit were awarded to the CMT House staff members and graduates.
The CMT House is the local training provider of the Business Edge program and partner of IFC-Yemen. It is flexible in scheduling classes, throughout the day or in the evening according to clients' needs, and limits class sizes so that instructors can help students with their individual needs and the CMT House's facilities allow for “hands-on-practice.”
With the investment program, the Return on Investment (RoL) is good since the fees are low and the courses are practical. All the courses are using the latest international know-how.
