At CFAO Mobility Zambia, we believe that continuous learning and skill enhancement are key to delivering the exceptional service our customers expect. That’s why, throughout the year, our teams are engaged in a blend of practical and online training designed to refine their skills, expand their knowledge, and keep them at the forefront of industry standards.
This year’s journey towards the highly anticipated Toyota National Skills Contest, held on Saturday, 9th November 2024, at the Nangwenya Toyota branch in Lusaka, is a perfect example of how our commitment to professional development culminates in a celebration of excellence.
Over the past year, employees from our Vehicle Sales, Parts, and Service departments participated in a series of online learning sessions and hands-on practical training. These sessions were designed to challenge them, expose them to real-life scenarios, and equip them with the skills needed to excel in their respective fields. By the time the contest arrived, our teams had already undergone rigorous training that tested their ability to apply what they had learned in realistic, competitive environments.
The Toyota National Skills Contest is not just a one-day event; it is the pinnacle of months of hard work and dedication. Employees from all five branches came together to compete in a series of tasks and challenges that tested their skills in real-world sales, service, and parts operations. The competition was fierce, with participants demonstrating a deep understanding of industry practices, technical expertise, and customer service excellence.
This contest, now in its 10th year, has become a cornerstone of our culture, encouraging growth, fostering innovation, and boosting morale. It’s a platform where the brightest minds of CFAO Mobility Zambia come to showcase their abilities, and where the winners are celebrated not only for their talent but also for their commitment to continuous improvement.
