Hello,
In continuing what octavious just mentioned, carry out a little bit of ground work and understand the profile of BAs hired in other similar profile organisations. Also, companies hire BAs for various profiles with some of them in requirement gathering, delivery, project management, business development etc. So based on where u plan to place them u could give them some inputs in -
1. Basic Soft skills
2. Cross cultural Sensitivity
3. Data crunching
4. Basic selling skills
Also do take up a session on Understanding of ur company strategies and how u are looking at value addition from thier end.
I hope this contributed to your understanding
