Entrepreneurial Development and Business Management (EDBM)

Entrepreneurs start with an idea and try to build their businesses from there, often without the benefit of even the most basic business development and/or management skills. The objectives of the EDBM module are to provide tools to support the entrepreneur as they develop their own business acumen in areas such as market research, planning, accessing capital, sourcing raw materials, quality control, and decision-making, to name a few. Additionally, this course allows participants to develop basic business management skills to better budget, track income and expenditures and effectively manage the financial side of the business.

Basic Business Management (BBM)

The BBM module is a stand-alone curriculum based on the business management aspects of the EDBM course. This module targets populations working in wage-based employment, not those running their own businesses, and provides basic tools for budgeting, tracking income and expenditures and overall basic financial management, allowing for more effective organization of personal or household finances.

Workforce Development and Congenial Environment (WDCE)

Developed to assist target populations with no or very little previous experience in the formalized workplace, this module provides guidance and tools to help participants in two different areas: Determining life goals and creating a pathway to achieving those goals; Understanding the norms of the workplace and the roles, responsibilities and benefits therein. Activities begin with the formulation of a life aim and carry through to appropriate behavior in the workplace and the development of individual budgets and savings plans, providing participants with an understanding of work and the employee/employer relationship and the knowledge to manage their own expectations.
