The multi-pronged development approach starts with an intensive 10-day business management and life skills boot camp. To support a directed approach to economic success for the beneficiaries, the training includes additional 10 days of experiential learning focusing sector technical skills aligned to 21st century workplaces.
This is followed by 3 months of individual business mentoring, incorporating business compliance, support with access to markets and business financing.
At graduation, program beneficiaries pitch their businesses to a judging panel and prizes to assist with business start-up or growth are awarded.
