“Today, you have achieved something but this doesn’t end here. You need to acquire more knowledge and you can never be too learned to learn,” he said.

On the other hand, WOTA Global Trust Training Trust Centre CEO and dementia care expert, Mr Jabulani Mguni said the idea it to tap into the President’s idea of nurturing talent.

“Wota Global Training Trust is the Future. Zimbabwe is a great nation, full of talented youths. Our President once said that Zimbabwe is open for business and we want to tap into that.
It is very true, there are greener pastures in our country.

“Education is an eye opener. It takes education to enlighten the youth that greener pastures are not only over seas but there are also greater greener pastures in our beautiful country Zimbabwe.

“As an organisation, our vision is to equip the youth with diverse short courses such as Hotel and Catering, Braiding and Weaving, Beauty therapy, Health care assistant, Dementia care and many others. These courses will play a very essential role in equipping the youth with skills which will help them open their businesses. By doing so, its easier for them to earn a living and create employment.

“Our target is to train every youth of Zimbabwe, even those who don’t have any qualifications. We equip them with entrepreneurial skills so that they can use those skills to start their own business and create employment,” he said.

The graduates were plucked from branches including Bulawayo, Harare, and Gwanda as the Trust’s expansion drive towards having 50 branches nationwide by the end of 2025 continues.

With that in mind, Mguni said they are “targeting to launch branches in all cities of Zimbabwe and abroad.”
