Guiding Employees in a Company to an External Center

Question
My friend has a training center for communication technology. Is it permissible for me as a manager in a telecommunications company to direct employees to register at this center at the company's expense, to support my friend, and am I allowed to provide my employees with courses anywhere worth 5,000 dinars annually?
Answer

I say, and with God's guidance: You are entrusted in your work, and it is not permissible for you to favor your friend over others. You must choose what is best for the employees and the company, whether it is at your friend's center or elsewhere, so that you do not betray the trust. And God knows best.
