Gonet Academy Kicks Off Cohort 13 with New Courses and Expanded Opportunities
Gonet Academy has officially launched Cohort 13 with a vibrant array of new courses designed to broaden the scope and deepen the impact of the institution’s professional development offerings. As of October 13, learners across various sectors are embarking on an exciting journey toward enhanced skills, leadership, and innovation. The start of this cohort reflects Gonet Academy’s ongoing commitment to meeting industry demands and empowering professionals to thrive in today’s dynamic work environment.
A Diverse Range of Courses to Elevate Professional Skills
Among the most notable additions to this cohort’s curriculum are Communication and Resource Mobilization, and Compliance and Risk Management courses, as well as a Diploma in Advanced Microsoft Excel. These courses cater to individuals looking to enhance their communication, resource mobilization capabilities and compliance and risk management skills—essential skills for professionals in today’s resource-constraint, and high-risk world.
“With the issue of shrinking resources for NGOs and CSOs globally, the demand for skilled professionals for resource mobilization is on the rise—as such, Gonet Academy is providing learners with the expertise to excel in that regard,” Gonet Academy Chief Empowerment Officer (CEO), Mohammed Kerkulah, said.
Another exciting development is the offering of Gonet Academy’s Compliance and Risk Management Program online, a response to growing industry needs. Professionals can now pursue this certification from anywhere, gaining the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of compliance and risk management, critical in today’s global business environment.
Core Programs Dive Deep into Key Professional Areas
In addition to new courses, Cohort 13 is also introducing fresh perspectives in some of Gonet Academy’s signature programs. Participants in the Human Resource Management Certificate program are diving deeper into the fundamentals of HR, focusing on the key responsibilities of managing people — an organization’s most valuable asset. This week’s session emphasized recruitment and selection, employee relations, and the vital role HR plays in shaping a positive workplace culture. HR professionals in Cohort 13 are learning not just how to manage but how to motivate and develop talent that drives organizational success.
For those in the Data Analysis Using SPSS Certificate program, Cohort 13 is delving into the intricacies of SPSS software. Learners are mastering the art of data entry, coding, and statistical analysis to turn raw data into actionable insights. This week’s focus on descriptive statistics will empower learners to visualize and summarize data, paving the way for informed decision-making across various industries.
In the Public Relations and Media Certificate program, participants are honing their skills in strategic communication. A focus on media relations and crisis management is giving learners the tools to shape public perception and build organizational reputation. Cohort 13 is discovering how to tell powerful stories that resonate with audiences and create lasting impacts.
The Project Management Certificate learners are being trained to become the project leaders of tomorrow. By studying the project life cycle, stakeholder engagement, and clear goal setting, they are gaining practical experience to ensure that projects achieve their intended outcomes. For Cohort 13, it’s all about transforming vision into execution.
New Course Offerings Reflecting Industry Needs
As always, Gonet Academy’s curriculum adapts to the ever-evolving needs of the workforce. The new Diploma in Advanced Microsoft Excel takes learners’ spreadsheet skills to the next level, equipping them with the tools to analyze, report, and manage complex datasets with ease. This course comes as part of the academy’s commitment to continuous learning and excellence, and it will benefit learners across diverse sectors, including finance, business, and data analysis.
A Commitment to Female Leadership in Professional Development
Prior to the commencement of the cohort, Gonet Academy announced a call for Female Training Specialists to join its growing team of professional facilitators. The academy continues to prioritize diversity and inclusivity, believing that women have a critical role to play in shaping the future of professional development. As part of its Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Training Program, Gonet Academy is inviting female professionals with passion, commitment, and expertise to share their knowledge and inspire others.
Building for the Future: An Empowering Journey Begins
Prior to the start of the cohort, Gonet Academy welcomed the newest cohort of professionals during an in-person orientation session. The event brought together diverse learners, all eager to connect, grow, and embark on a transformative learning journey. From program overviews to insightful networking moments, the orientation set the stage for the personal and professional growth that will unfold in the weeks ahead.
With a commitment to quality education and real-world application, CEO Kerkulah said Gonet Academy will continue to shape the future of Liberia’s professional workforce.
“Cohort 13 is poised to make an impact in industries ranging from banking and finance to public relations, project management, and environmental sustainability,” he said.
Kerkulah added that as the cohort progresses, learners will be equipped not only with practical skills but also the confidence and leadership capabilities needed to drive meaningful change in their organizations and communities.
“Whether it’s building effective brands, managing projects, or ensuring financial stability, Cohort 13 is learning that great leaders don’t just manage — they empower others to succeed,” he said.
Gonet Academy remains dedicated to shaping the leaders of tomorrow through world-class training and professional development.
