BELTRAIDE Launches Countrywide Business Development Training
City of Belmopan, August 7, 2023. BELTRAIDE is currently conducting a five-day business training Project, GET Ahead, in Red Bank, Stann Creek for 32 participants of which more than 75% were women-owned enterprise and youth, and who are key beneficiaries of the Resilient Rural Belize (RRB). This training is part of a series of trainings that will be held across the country to support business development in partnership with the Resilient Rural Belize, Promoting Empowerment Through Awareness For Lesbian/Bisexual Women (PETAL), Department of Youth Services, and the United Nations Joint Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Fund Programme: building a resilient Belize through universal, adaptive and sustainable social protection.
BELTRAIDE’s trainers are transferring business development knowledge acquired from the Gender Entrepreneurship Together (GET Ahead) Training of Trainers Programme, which was offered by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in July 2023. Participants are learning about gender equality in starting and operating their own business, how to increase self-esteem to optimize their potential as women business owners, how to create sustainable enterprises that can create jobs and how to create a more resilient Belize. BELTRAIDE is institutionalizing ILO’s GET Ahead Methodology to promote economic and working conditions that offer women and men a stake in lasting peace, prosperity, and progress.
This business development training supports the country in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and building a more resilient Belize. This program also supports BELTRAIDEs overarching goal to contribute to productive business activities, entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovation, as well as the formalization and growth of micro, small, and medium-sized businesses.
