The Petarian Foundation has long term plans for training
of teachers at Cadet College Petaro. The first training
program was held at Islamabad at the end of July 2005 for a period
of one week.
All 45 teaching staff members and other senior officers
of the college we brought to Islamabad for this
training. The trainees were housed at the excellent
facility of NIBAF (National Institute of Banking and
Finance), which also served as the venue for the
training sessions.
The training was conducted as an Interactive Workshop
with maximum participation from the CCP teachers in
attendance.
The key trainer was Prof. Maqbool Babri, who is a
renowned clinical psychologist. He provides training to
multinational companies. He is also an ex-cadet of
Cadet College Petaro, having graduated from there in
1969.
Other guest speakers invited for the sessions included
Prof. Inayat Ali Khan, Mr. Abdul Wahid Khan, Kazi Abdul
Muktadir (MD of NIBAF), Lt.Gen. S.P. Shahid (CEO of
Citizens Foundation), Vice Admiral Farooq Rasheed
(Rector of Bahria University), Cdre. Abid Saleem
(Principal of CCP), Kazi Zulkader Siddiqui (Chairman of
Petarian Foundation), and Jalaluddin Sohail (Federal
Joint Secretary).
The certificates were given away in two separate
ceremonies, and were graced by Rear Admiral Shahid
Farooq (MD of NTC), Rear Admiral Saeed Sargana, and Mr.
Zafar Khan (Federal Deputy Secretary).
This training program was unique and provided the
trainees with an exposure towards various issues and
techniques that proved to be extremely beneficial to
them.
