ZOU partners LASOF

Another memorandum of agree­ment was signed between ZOU and Laying Sound Foundation Leadership Institution.
Speaking at the ceremony, ZOU Vice Chancellor Dr Primrose Kurasha said the collaboration would empower peo­ple through tailor-made short duration training programmes.

“The collaboration between LASOF Leadership Institute and SAAA will result in fundamental growth of criti­cal areas like socio-economic, political and cultural dimensions,” she said.
“ZOU is there to serve the nation and it is not limited to academic degrees, but training from the grass­roots levels.
“This partnership will expose learn­ers to global trends and practices. Learners are scheduled for about three weeks training in Israel to expose them to international business trends.

“LASOF Leadership Institute will provide training in the Diploma in entrepreneurship and global business strategy and ZOU will provide the tuition.”
Dr Kurasha said that the partner­ship will help the three institutions to com­plement each other in running profes­sional development training pro­grammes.
“The collaboration will see the estab­lishment of joint training and develop­ment of accounting profes­sionals,” she said.

“It will also collaborate in the design­ing, development and imple­menting of accounting curricula and learning materials that are relevant to our com­merce industry at the same time appli­cable to global business practices.”

LASOF Leadership Institute acting CEO Mr Emmanuel Chigu said the partners would work hard to ensure that they make a difference.
“Capacity building can be achieved when we build such synergies. We will ensure that the training we give is directly relevant and utilised right from the onset,” he said.
“When all of us give our best we reap positive growth and development.”
SAAA was represented by its direc­tor Mr Farai Machabana.
