Entrepreneurial Training Program

[giving Basotho the business skills to suceed]

[Summary & Motivation] [Community] [Specifications] [Issues] [Contacts]

Summary & Motivation	Project Initiator: D.S. Phakisi Start Date: 2005 Projected Completion Date: Not applicable Current Status: Ideas stage Many Basotho have the skills needed to start their own small enterprises, but frequently they fail to do so because of inadequate understanding of where to begin. ATS has tried to disseminate some information about starting small businesses using the tools that they manufacture, but there has been little or no successful return on that initiative. It is thought that a more structured training on entrepreneurship would be more successful, since networking and problem solving are more likely to occur during such training. ATS lacks the marketing staff to develop such training independently, so it is looking for outside collaboration and guidance with such a project. [top]
Community	The training would be available as a seminar to small entrepreneurs who wish to either market an ATS product or start their own business. [top]
Specifications	Must be basic in depth yet broad in coverage. Must be available in print as well as in presentation format. [top]
Issues	Help is needed in the following areas: Developing a training program. Settings metrics and guidelines to evaluate success of training program. [top]
