Micro-MBA hits Grand West!

In its quest to contribute to economic and social development in the areas surrounding Grand West Casino and Entertainment World, the Grand West CSI division identified small enterprise businesses that it could partner with. This partnership aims to grow these businesses financially as well as to ensure their sustainability.

TSiBA Education was contracted to facilitate a micro-MBA workshop to some of these entrepreneurs. The workshop took place from 12-16 April and was attended by 18 small business owners.
Of all the modules covered during the workshop, Money Management was by far the most popular due to its practicality and simplicity. This was closely followed by Costing and Pricing which came as an “eye-opener” to most of the business owners. Other modules focused on Market Investigation; Using a calculator for business; Buying; Selling; Writing a Business Plan and Stock Control.
The initial 5-day workshop is followed up by 3 days of mentoring to ensure that the entrepreneurs apply what they have learnt in the classroom. The delegates from this workshop receive certificates of completion in July 2010.

TSiBA Education is proud of its association with Grand West CSI and will continue to support its objectives by delivering these much-needed skills development programmes.
