Zimpapers Training opens doors for future media pros

Zimbabwe's biggest media company just started something new. Zimpapers created a school called Zimpapers Training Institute where people can learn media skills. This school helps both beginners and working reporters become better at telling stories. The school opens next month for anyone who wants to join. They offer many different classes about news writing and making TV shows.

You can take classes online or come during evenings and weekends. This makes learning easy for busy people who work during the day. Anyone with five O-Level passes, including English, can sign up. Students learn by doing real work in actual newsrooms and studios. Mr. Limukani Ncube runs the school right from the start.

The school teaches much more than just theory - students work at real newspapers and radio stations. You might help make shows at Star FM, write stories for The Herald, or create videos for ZTN Prime. The courses teach business skills, helping students make money from their talents. Working professionals can join special classes that fit around their jobs.

ZMTI wants to lead the way in teaching modern media skills across the whole region. They focus on new digital ways to tell stories and reach audiences. Applications have started for classes beginning May 2025. Interested people can visit any Zimpapers office to learn more about signing up. The company believes training new storytellers matters just as much as reporting news itself.

The school began operating in January 2025 as a place where practice meets theory. It combines hands-on experience with classroom learning across many communication fields. It aims to teach skills that match what today's changing media world needs. Digital changes keep shifting how people consume news and stories. Mr. Ncube says Zimpapers feels proud about helping shape these new media practices.
