From both sets of documents, it can be seen that we have offered training in different thematic areas. In the
interest of time management and space, we shall highlight just a few.

1. Capacity Building

One of our core businesses is capacity building. We believe that well planned investment in human beings
can yield handsome dividends for an organization.

In order to survive in an inter-dependent economy, we need to constantly improve our knowledge base so
that we can compete in the global economy and advance economically. This may explain why in most
cases, international donor funds remain unused and returned at the end of the fiscal year because of the
nations inability to use its share of the resource.

It is for this reason, that ICC has as its core business as training.

The training includes the employers need to train the employee for better output and equally importantly,
the employees recognition of his/her need for better, more advanced training in order to improve output.
We want to avoid the situation where the employee is relying on yester years out-dated skills for new
technology, or where secretaries did not want to learn new skills for fear of being given too much work.

2. Financial Planning and Management

The recent economic meltdown and the ensuing turmoil showed that huge savings can evaporate at the
stroke of the pen; giant financial institutions can disappear from the economic radar, landmark companies
with household names can become bankrupt within the blinking of an eye. These unfortunate losses
showed that we live in a very volatile and complex financial world.

In view of the above, individuals, and indeed, organisations, have become more concerned about the
finances of their organisations and indeed the welfare of their employees. How can employees avoid living
from hand to mouth? And more importantly, saving during the time of plenty (employment) for the lean
years (retirement).
From the list of courses in our brochure, we can offer courses in the area of finance to improve service
delivery as well as financial management for and during retirement.

3. Counselling

A few decades ago, we were our brother’s keeper. Then came the era of “I am old enough” followed by that
of rights without corresponding responsibilities. As if that were not enough, the concept of nuclear family

and peer pressure invaded the family fabric and by extension, the community and the nation. Behaviours
and acts that were once taboos that went against the ethos, the bedrocks and the foundation of society
were eroded. In our haste to become “civilized” without regard to some indigenous knowledge systems that
knitted societies together, what seemed to be science fictions are now every day occurrences.

It is no wonder that counselling for both young and old, rich and poor is now a booming business.

We at ICC have the expertise to provide tailor-made courses in various aspects of counselling to ensure
high output from employers and improve employer-employee relationships.

4. HIV and AIDS

A few years ago, a terrible disease, a silent serial killer, previously unknown to the human race, began to
kill people in the most alarming way and circumstances. It produced panic, fear, guilt, hysteria, accusations,
terrible suffering and always, at the end, death. The cause of the massive death was identified as human
immuno deficiency virus (HIV). Today, HIV and AIDS has become the most dreaded plague in the world. It
is said to have killed about 10 times more people than those who were killed in both World Wars I and II.
The pandemic, which has reversed almost all the development gains that were made in the last 15 year, at
one time seemed to have rendered humanity defenseless.

Initially, there were low job outputs followed by unexplained long absences from jobs, protracted illnesses
and loss of lives, loss of people with skills. It became so severe that some countries in the region decided
to reduce the period for training graduates from four to three years in order to be able to cope with the rate
of replacing departed employees.

At that time, contracting the virus was synonymous to a death sentence; but not any more. With a better
understanding of the biology of the virus, counselling and management strategies, people living with HIV
and AIDS can live for more than 25 years of active and productive life.

At ICC, we have the expertise on the management of HIV and AIDS in the place of work and at home.

5. Information Communication Technology

We now live in the electronic age. Little did we know about 10 or 15 years ago, that a grand mother who
could not distinguish A from B, no matter how large the alphabets were written, would be able to talk to her
grand child, five thousand km away, using a cell phone.

Gone are the days, when log tables, square root tables, slide rules and calculators were the order of the
day. This is the digital age where one either blends in or gets left out and very fast.

Communication and the mode of communication have become very fast. Illiteracy is no more confined to
the inability to speak English or French, but it now includes inability to use facilities in the much dreaded
“magic box” called computer. Proficiency and skills in computer usage is now a MUST for most jobs.

Individuals and organizations tendering for the provision of products now have to make presentations using
PowerPoint facility of a computer. In some cases, the presentation and how it is packaged, rather than the
ability to provide the product, may be the decisive factor in securing the bid. It is no wonder that media and
advertising houses are now making fortune on the training of presentations, advertisement and customer
care.

Most organizations these days emphasize on efficient information management system. Filing cabinets are
almost becoming extinct. Most accounting systems are now computer aided. The days of copy typists are
numbered as most organizations now require administrative assistants or executive secretaries with sound
computer knowledge and skills in word processing, Excel and PowerPoint and the use of the Internet both
for communication and for sourcing information, especially for senior managers, now require secretaries
that can handle executive level reports and assist with the preparation of presentations of reports at Board
Management Meetings. The above underscores the importance of information communication technology.

At ICC we have the staff with the expertise, the knowledge and the skills such as Cisco and Microsoft
Certified consultants to impart computer skills to all classes of clients.

TRAINING COST

In the accompanying brochure and calendar to this letter, are durations and fees for our international
courses. These fees include among other things cost of tuition, handouts, a Laptop computer for
participants to use during the course and take away with them after the course and a trip to
NEIGHBOURING Countries such as South Africa or Mozambique.

For courses where a Laptop computer is not part of the package, nor excursion trips to NEIGHBOURING
Countries, the fees are less. The fees are negotiable depending on the thematic area and the duration of
the course.

IN-HOUSE TRAINING
The financial meltdown across the globe has resulted in reprioritization of expenditures and training and
capacity building has been hit hard.This has seen external training arrangement go off the training budget
of most organizations and in-house training take the centre stage.We at ICC have a robust out-reach
program that is enabled by our unique spread across the globe and therefore easly rich out to any
destination so easily to offer our clients customized training in their own environment where we attend to
their day to day concerns through this kind of program. We kindly invite your application for such
arrangement and we will respond appropriately.
