Empretec programme’s core product is the Empretec Training Workshop (ETW). The behavioural approach, which the ETW is based on, aims at developing entrepreneurship as a set of specific competencies and practices that can be observed, recognized, applied and acquired by entrepreneurs on their daily lives. By fostering participants’ motivation and self-confidence, the ETW manages to show entrepreneurs the difference between merely running a business and building a growth-oriented enterprise.
Training is delivered by local certified trainers supported by a pool of international master trainers. All trainers are also entrepreneurs.
Classes usually consists of:
- 6-day courses (48 hours);
- 32-hour (usually spread over 4 days) for micro-entrepreneurs with low levels of literacy;
- Interactive coaching based on real business challenges of participants.
