Our Story

Our Story / Background

Carothom Training was established in 2009 following the identification of a significant need for practical skills development and performance enhancement within individuals, organizations and communities.

The business was founded and is led by an entrepreneur with experience in local government, whose exposure to the public sector highlighted the importance of developing skills that contribute directly to improved performance, employability, entrepreneurship and organizational effectiveness.

Over the years, Carothom Training has evolved from this vision into a growing training and development organization providing structured interventions to contracted clients, small businesses and developing communities.

"When people are given the right skills, knowledge and support, they are better equipped to create opportunities, improve their performance and contribute to sustainable development."

Our journey has been driven by that one central belief. Today, Carothom Training continues to develop practical and relevant solutions that respond to the changing needs of individuals, businesses and organizations.

Why We Exist

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to bridge skills gaps and create meaningful development opportunities by equipping individuals, businesses and organizations with practical knowledge, skills and support.

We aim to contribute to stronger individuals, more capable businesses and more resilient communities through relevant training, mentorship and business development interventions.

We believe that development should not end when training ends. Our goal is to help people apply what they learn in real-world environments and use their skills to improve performance, create opportunities and support sustainable growth.

Our Mission

Quality Service Beyond Expectations

We strive for quality service delivery and customer orientation, with an outcomes-based project management approach. This is achieved by providing an unsurpassed level of quality service that is beyond our customers' expectations.

Social Responsibility — Celebrating Our Senior Citizens

As part of our commitment to social development, Carothom Training celebrates with and gives gifts to Senior Citizens on Freedom Day annually. The team spends a fun-filled day with them and invites delegates from relevant organizations who offer vital information.
