Courts in collaboration with Cerulean on April 3rd launched its ‘Grow your Business’ project, which enables women who have a registered business licence, to benefit from business-related training programmes.
Cerulean Inc is a corporate training and consulting company registered in Guyana that offers training and consulting services in Service Quality, Event Management, Small Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Project Management, Strategic Planning and Effective Communication.
Nineteen women are currently registered to take the various courses offered in the ‘Grow your Business’ project. These courses includes, skills training in entrepreneurship, business finances, business mentorship and training in understanding cash flow. All interested women are required to have had a registered business licence for at least one year.
The official launching of the project took place at the Cerulean training centre located on Mandela Avenue, where the training courses will also be held over the next three months.
Under the broadening horizons initiative, Courts along with Cerulean Incorporated, developed a Women Empowerment Project (WEP), which will over the next six months, assist women pursuing entrepreneurship. The ‘Grow your Business’ project is one of the first programmes to be launched under the WEP.
During the course of the programme, knowledge gaps of each participants will be identified and customised training and technical assistance will be given to them. Their areas of weakness will be monitored along with their testimonials about any changes they may have seen with their business operations since beginning the programme.
The result of this programme, according to the Managing Director of Cerulean Inc, Lyndell Danzie-Black, is to ensure that the participants become strengthened and more knowledgeable business women. She also told persons present at the launch, that the project aims to assist women who have started a business and want to expand or keep the business successful in addition to helping the lesser successful business women become successful through the knowledge that the courses will provide.
Shonell Bacchus, the customer experience manager of Courts Ltd, applauded the participants who have expressed their interest in taking part in the various courses offered in the programme.
