Training Programme for Fisheries Specialists

Landell Mills were awarded a contract to implement a programme of in-house and overseas training for the management personnel and technicians of ZAFICO, a parastatal fishing enterprise with a workforce of some two hundred employees. Training inputs covered management techniques, engineering, stores management, international procurement, fish processing and fishing methods. A comprehensive training audit and work study was programmed to identify skill gaps and define staff roles. This was followed by preparation of syllabi for in-house training, the selection of overseas courses and the identification of relevant international industrial placements. The programme was designed to backup a substantial investment in ZAFICO’s fisheries plant with a period of skill development. This permitted improvements in enterprise performance in terms of fish throughputs and quality and thus eventually allowed the diversification into hard currency export markets which were essential to the achievement of ZAFICO’s financial autonomy.
