ENABLING GROWTH – CFAO SA'S COMMITMENT TO TALENT DEVELOPMENT “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”- Nelson Mandela. Education and training are essential levers for success. Talent development has consistently been a strategic priority for CFAO South Africa, driven by the belief that investing in our team is one of the most valuable decisions we can make. Campus South Africa and our Educational Trust are two elements that play a fundamental role in our People Strategy at CFAO South Africa. Campus South Africa by CFAO Campus South Africa started in February 2024. One of four Campuses within the CFAO Group, focused on developing our people, has trained over 300 people so far. We designed the curriculum to build and strengthen the competencies needed for the next generation of leaders, aligning with CFAO South Africa's long-term vision and strategic goals to foster ongoing growth. More than just a training platform, Campus South Africa creates a unique opportunity for diverse leaders from our subsidiaries to enhance cross-functional collaboration, share knowledge, and exchange best practices, making learning a common ground. By leveraging our colleagues' experience and fostering shared learning, we are investing in future leadership capabilities and reinforcing our culture of engagement and inclusion. We understand that, as human beings, we feel more engaged when afforded the opportunity to learn and grow through development opportunities. The emphasis thus far has been on emotional intelligence, concentrating on the individual and their potential contribution to the performance of CFAO in South Africa. CFAO South Africa is an organisation where individuals feel they are growing with us and developing their careers, with skills development as a key focus. We aim to enhance our team’s experience throughout their journey while attracting the best talent in South Africa. CFAO SA Educational Trust Fostering growth extends beyond our colleagues. As part of our people-centric strategy, we are committed to developing tomorrow's talent. Consequently, the CFAO South Africa's Educational Trust programme, in collaboration with all our subsidiaries, supports the academic progress of our colleagues' children across primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Over the past year, more than 890 scholarship holders have benefited from this programme through financial assistance. It is also available to external students preparing for a qualification at a higher education institution who meet well-defined eligibility criteria. Developing people is at the heart of what we do. We know it's the foundation for future growth and long-term CFAO success in South Africa. #CFAO #Talent #Training #Development #Education
