CEO Roundtable of Tanzania
Ethical Leadership for Growth and Prosperity
Overview
Tanzania is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Driven by exciting investment opportunities within key economic sectors; mining, construction, agriculture and manufacturing, the countries growth momentum is projected to increase in strength in the long-term. Tanzania’s rapid growth, combined with inadequate investment in human capital has created a shortage of local human talent with the right blend of strategic leadership acumen and skills to assume critical roles at the C-suite level.
The CEO Apprenticeship Programme (CAP) is a 12-month leadership Programme spearheaded by the CEO Roundtable of Tanzania and Strathmore University Business School (SBS). The Programme is designed to identify and attract experienced Tanzanian executives within the public and private sectors with a career path towards becoming senior executives. Through training, coaching and mentorship the CAP Programme’s key objective is to create a future pipeline of highly competent, experienced and visionary Tanzanian executive leaders that are ready to graduate to CEO positions within the region and beyond.
