Training and Workforce Development

Training and skills transfer are integral to virtually all of JAA’s work. JAA has trained the staff of private companies, state-owned companies, business associations, and NGOs, as well as the staff of governments and major multilateral and bilateral institutions. JAA has conducted specialized executive training seminars for private associations and firms, and has also served as an advisor to several associations seeking to strengthen management and organizational skills.

Throughout the world, JAA has assisted business schools and management programs of developing countries by developing curricula, training teachers, and preparing and supervising case study development.

Some of the main areas of focus for JAA’s training activities include business strategy; privatization; international executive training; case study and management education; public administration; agribusiness management; infrastructure and related services management; finance and banking; and small, medium and microenterprise.

JAA provides training in major corporate functions: governance, strategy, marketing, production, finance, control, human resources and informatics. JAA has developed specialized courses for training the staff of major multilateral and bilateral institutions, such as the World Bank, International Finance Corporation, UNDP, IDB and USAID. JAA uses highly interactive and participatory training approaches including multimedia, case studies and dynamic moderators. JAA can also capture training events in digital form for CD-ROM and web-based distribution using "just-in-time learning" technologies.
