I really enjoyed the cross-cultural theory and mix of references. Our trainer managed to get people of all levels in the team involved, whether our admin staff or associate directors.
Leanna Caron, Senior Director European Marketing, Genzyme EuropeCommunicaid’s Living and Working in Angola courses are designed to respond to the needs of international assignees and their families by providing practical information and advice on the various aspects of living and working in Angola.
Completing a Living and Working in Angola course will provide you with a thorough understanding of Angolan culture as well as living and working standards so as to help you benefit both socially and professionally from your experience living and working in Angola.
Angola is the seventh largest country in Africa and has a unique culture characterised by a blend of African and Portuguese influences. Most cultural traditions are derived from Bantu and other African tribes but Angola’s official language and major religion are relics of the Portuguese colonial rule. Angola has been working hard to rebuild itself across all sectors since the end of the devastating civil war in 2002. Today, Angola offers a flourishing literary tradition, an improving infrastructure and vast deposits of natural resources which make it an increasingly attractive place to live and work. Failure to adapt to the cultural particularities of Angola and its unique set of attitudes and values can result in frustration and misunderstandings leading to an unsuccessful international assignment.
Ensure a successful international assignment in Angola by learning more about Angolan business and social culture.
