This group is not just learning to train; they are becoming leaders—driving capacity building and development within MIDROC Investment Group and across Ethiopia, while creating meaningful organizational change.
As we continue this long-term development journey, the focus now turns to application, reflection, and continuous improvement in real workplace settings.
The best is yet to come. 🚀
