The “Government communication professionals” 6-day training course was offered with the intention of giving staff members all the resources necessary to perform the work properly. There was a pre-selection for this training. The whole personnel of the Office of the President also received a 2-day “Customer Service” training with the goal of supplying the fundamental components in the role of customer-oriented communication.
Ms. Angela van der Kooye of the Center for Communication & Public Relations gave both training sessions (CCPR).
