At the SMART Centre we value business skills as much as practical skills. As we aim for sustainability, we want our entrepreneurs to have a company they can manage on their own. Someone who is able to drill a borehole but doesn\u2019t know how to make a quotation, will most definitely struggle with entrepreneurship. To refresh everyone\u2019s knowledge, it was about time to organize another Business Training at the Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t fear, Lexah is here!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What do you do when trained entrepreneurs mention they lack the ability to manage their funds? When they are unsure of how much they are worth, and struggle with managing their profits in a sustainable way? You could lend them money, or provide them with equipment. But you could also invite Mrs. Lexah and organize a training with her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have organized similar trainings in the past, and had very good experiences with Mrs. Lexah. She knows her stuff, and has an interactive way of teaching entrepreneurs how to manage their business. We invited her to the Centre in Luwinga and had 12 of our entrepreneurs attend the training. Besides various financial courses, she covered topics such as bookkeeping, market research and customer care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
