A handful of new initiatives
15 September 2011

During the past few months, CTI has launched a series of new ventures which illustrate clearly its innovative spirit.

From the Leadership Centre

CTI's Leadership Centre is running three customized leadership programmes this year - a record in its short history. The first is its foundation programme open to the general public, the Certificate in Management Development, previously known as the Leadership Challenge Programme. The second is Reaching New Heights, a customized certificate for the Winner's Group and the third is Leading Through Innovation, one customized for the Blanche, Birger Group.

In addition the Leadership Centre has recently developed three new programmes aimed directly at this country's new and existing managers.

They are:

  • Handling Stress. A three-day programme designed to show delegates how best to handle stress and pressure both at work and at home
  • Effective Customer Care. A two-day workshop which teaches the principles and techniques of excellent customer service
  • Excellent Business Communication. A two-day workshop which illustrates the importance of sound communication at work and teaches the techniques designed to bring about such communication

From the Children Development Centre

The news so many have been waiting for is at long last out! CTI's own day-care centre is now open and welcomed its first occupants during July. "It took us a while to obtain all the relevant permits," explains Mrs. Nadine Fanchette, "but it is now a reality." The purpose of the centre is to serve as incubator for the academic and practical training of future Early Childhood Professionals and of course, offer a much-welcomed garderie service to CTI's own mothers and fathers as well as the public at large. Enrolled students are currently completing their Certificate III in Children's Services, a course offered in partnership with the Challenger Institute of Technology of Western Australia.

From the School of Interior Design

Launched under the umbrella of the Faculty of Humanities, this School is one of the very first in Mauritius to offer 720 hours of teaching/learning contact time in Interior Decoration. Known as the Certificate IV in Interior Design, this year-long programme emanates from Central Institute of Technology, our Australian partner. Successful completion of the certificate will allow entry into Curtin's Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design or into the Diploma in Interior Decoration.
