Josephine Takundwa and Tsungi Banda were selected for the five-week programme, which starts on October 8.
Banda, who runs an advertising, marketing and design company in Harare and Takundwa, who works in information and communication technology and power protection both believe the chance to participate in the programme will enhance their business management skills and boost the performance of their businesses.
Banda and Takundwa were selected for the 2014 US BEEP exchange programme early this month out of a host of prospective candidates from Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Banda said: “The programme is a platform for me to learn the best practices in my industry and I am confident that the exposure will enhance the growth of my business.”
