DHL Express has announced it will launch its Growing Beyond Borders program in Sub-Saharan Africa.
According to
DHL, the positive economic moment experienced by the region has created
the potential to invest in business expansion. The Growing Beyond
Borders workshop is an internal learning
and development platform aimed at providing educationand encouraging international trade for small and medium sized businesses.
Growing Beyond
Borders was developed under the same model as the DHL Express
Certified International Specialist (CIS) program which has been attended by 4,000 DHL employees.
“CIS
equips our employees with the specialized knowledge they need to do
their job competently and confidently” Managing Director for DHL Express
SSA Hennie Heymans said. “Similarly, the Growing Beyond Borders
workshop seeks to pass on logistics knowledge to our customers,
equipping them with expertise on growing their business across borders.”
The first African countries to receive the Growing Beyond
Borders program are Botswana, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Mauritius, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Uganda.
DHL expects to expand Growing Beyond Borders to 16 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa until 2016.
