The Union of Arab Chambers (UAC), organizes in cooperation with the Arab International Center for Entrepreneurship and Investment (AICEI) of UNIDO, a training of trainers course for the “Small and Medium Enterprises Development Training Program”, during the period between 1 – 4 October 2019 at the headquarters of the UAC - Beirut.
Overview
The role of micro, small and medium enterprises has become internationally recognized as an effective tool in job creation and economic development. With the growing interest at the international and Arab levels in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, which will create jobs and absorb the energies and ideas to become practical activities, and help the potential entrepreneurs to transfer their ideas into actual projects, the Union of Arab Chambers in cooperation with the International Center for Entrepreneurship and Investment of UNIDO in Bahrain, will organize a training of trainers for the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Training Program. Whereas, there are individuals from all sectors who possess the internal capabilities in project management, but they did not have the opportunity to develop their capabilities for several reasons, including lack of information and data or fear of faltering. Identifying these individuals requires a systematic mechanism to recognize and select those who can be trained to become entrepreneurs through a development program that strengthens their skills and self-confidence from the stage of project identification to implementation. This mechanism requires qualified trainers, which requires the organization of a TOT course to establish new enterprises.
The training of trainers’ course is the first step towards organizing a training and development program for entrepreneurs in the Arab chambers. Through which a cadre of experts will be prepared who will later develop mechanisms for entrepreneurship development.
