Tomorrow’s Youth Organization and Dimensions Consulting kicked off the Youth Entrepreneurship Training Program for the year 2021.
Dimensions Consulting and Tomorrow’s Youth Organization (TYO) held a kick-off session of the Youth Entrepreneurship Training Program. Financed by the Qatar Fund for Development, this training intervention will focus on enhancing the leadership and business skills of youth entrepreneurs in the northern West Bank, helping them to develop their business ideas into viable commercial entities.
TYO contracted Dimensions Consulting to deliver training to 50 youth trainees enrolled in the 2021 cycle of this Program. Over the course of three months, sector experts will deliver 70 hours of training over 10 full-day training workshops, covering entrepreneurship, business planning, and modeling, market research, financials, marketing, networking, communications, human resources, writing business plans, and preparing financial projections.
Targeting both male and female youth residing in towns, villages, and refugee camps in the northern West Bank, the training aims to enhance their entrepreneurial skills through a direct, ‘hands-on’ approach requiring every trainee to identify a business venture and, by the end of the training, write and present a business plan for bringing their idea to fruition.
The training’s practical approach meant that participants gained both hands-on experience in business planning and knowledge of key business management practices, such as product branding, financial record-keeping, and business registration.
Through structured training, homework exercises, and group work, Dimensions’ trainers will guide participants in business plan development over the course of training, helping them to define their business mission and plan its future development.
Entrepreneurs drive economic growth and Dimensions Consulting hopes that this intervention will lead to the creation of viable businesses while securing incomes for Palestinian households.
