Communicate and Collaborate

Research by Carnegie Mellon University which took place over a 10-year period, concluded that the most important skills that differentiate between average and excellent job performance are interpersonal communication, relationship building, teamwork, networking and persuasion.

At KZNBTC we offer a wide range of communication skills training that will assist you to develop these very skills. Understanding that many people want to walk away from training interventions with an accredited certificate, we took an ‘almost there’ unit standard, re-shaped it, added to its scope, and created some practical training elements to bring you this two-day course on enhancing your ability to build relationships, communicate effectively, and collaborate with clients, customers, colleagues and managers.
