Thread:Facilitation considerations in Financial Management Training Delivery (6)

Dear participants, It is indeed important that the practicality of financial management training goes beyond the class room situation. Engaging the youth in real enterprise practice even at project level is one of the best ways of facilitating long lasting learning among the youth. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has a very useful training package called EMPRETEC which requires participants to run and close an enteprise within the six days training period. It is most ideal for the youth wishing to start their own Businesses. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) also has a training package called Improve Your Business (IYB) which assists entrepreneurs to understand and apply the basic principles in financial management. The IYB training package has a very exciting business game which allows entrepreneurs to practice enterprise in a simulated environment. More about this during the face to face training!--nkl 10:05, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
