It is not often that anyone gets
to impact the next generation through the creation of structures that will
guide the development of great minds into the future. I am privileged to write
about this high point in my career as the Professional Trainers Association of
Kenya (PTAK) sign an agreement with the Institute of Human Resource Management
(IHRM) that will simultaneously raise and regulate the standards of training
delivered in workplaces all over Kenya - thus energizing the regional workforce
for new and greater levels of productivity and prosperity.
It has been a personal journey
since 2007 to have the Association registered (2009). And now, in 2017, I am
privileged see the day when we open up the Training Profession, as a career
that has served me so well for more than two decades, to thousands of talented young
individuals, entrepreneurs, employees and employers across Kenya and the
region through the Certified Professional Trainer (CPT) qualification.
I want to personally thank my
colleagues at PTAK who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this
new future a reality. And, express my deep gratitude to my far sighted professional
colleagues at IHRM (Executive Director, Dorcas Wainaina- pictured) who have
shown selfless and visionary leadership to ensure that the legacy of an
empowered national human resource lives on and grows stronger beyond this
generation. This is one of my proudest moments.
Allan Bukusi
Chairman, Professional Trainers Association of Kenya.
