ODIMM organises entrepreneurial coaching for trainers
The Organisation for the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (ODIMM), through the ‘Business Academy for Women’ project, has started entrepreneurial training courses for trainers of support organisations in the Republic of Moldova. From 28 June to 1 July, 24 trainers from business support organisations from all regions of the country, including the Transnistrian region and UTA Gagauzia, receive a training session on “Components of the skill of a trainer”. Support organisations, selected following a public procurement organised by ODIMM, will subsequently contribute to promoting the development of entrepreneurship among women in Moldova.
Olga Colesnicov, a business trainer, said at the opening of the courses that participants would be familiar with the theoretical and practical aspects of preparing and running the training programmes on the ground, in the light of the objectives of the Business Academy for Women project. Trainers will have to take into account contemporary business trends and ongoing changes in the economy.
The trainings are organised on the basis of 3 modules, in the areas of contemporary marketing, management and international economic relations. Trainers – participants in these training courses will receive certificates of participation from ODIMM, and afterwards they will carry out the training sessions for the beneficiaries of the Business Academy for Women project.
The Business Academy for Women project, launched in March this year, is funded by the European Union and managed by the Organisation for the Development of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (ODIMM) in partnership with the International Centre for the Promotion of Women in Business (ICAWB).
The overall objective of the Project is to promote women’s economic and social empowerment, including those in rural regions, by reducing gender inequality and increasing their access to financial resources, services, innovative technologies and development opportunities. Around 300 female entrepreneurs will be trained in how to make their business model more efficient and export their companies. At the end of the training, 10 women entrepreneurs will be selected to receive grants of EUR 6 thousand each for the implementation of the projects.
