An alternative is to provide simpler

training that focuses on heuristic

Accounting practices and how to calculate

IIb firm profits
IIb 4-hour rule-of-thumb training for finance

This type of training is effective for lower

education owners and especially for
IIb women
Follow-up a year later shows that the
heuristic-based approach increased daily
IIb profits
It has resulted in improvements in daily
IIb profits, studies say
This type of training has not long-lasting
effects and only limited to few areas like-
financing and prefred only for least
IIb educated entrepreneurs

Classroom training programmes typically

focus on improving technical business
skills in record-keeping,
marketing, etc. An alternative approach
instead targets attitudes, particularly mind-
IIc set and aspirations.

There have also been tests of other

psychology-influenced training curricula,
including interpersonal skills
(Dammert and Nansamba 2019) and
another form of mind-set training (Alibhai

IId
 These types of traning have been
introduced by many institutions
established especially for women to
remove barriers of gender discimination in
the society and to teach them segregation
IId of household and business work

the ILO’s Gender and Enterprise Together

(GET Ahead) programme, which combines
standard topics like recordkeeping,
separating business and household
finances, costing and pricing, etc., with
IId topics on gender
the Kenya study found significant
improvements in profits and sales after
IId three years
that this growth does not appear to have
just come from taking away sales from
untrained women, but rather, the trained
women introduced new products and total
IId market sales grew...

The "Start and Improve Your Business

(SIYB)" Program of the International
Labour Organization is a system of inter-
related practical management-skills
training package for small-scale enterprise
owners and managers. It encompasses a
range of cost-effective and practical
training, monitoring and evaluation
methodologies and instruments which
were designed to meet the management
training needs of potential and existing
IId small business persons.

These programmes is specifically run for

youth with the motive of inroducing
entrepreneurship knowledge to them in
schools or universties to make them
capable of open their own source of
IId employment

The first consists of training for out-of-

school youth, with
the goal of getting them to start
businesses or expand existing
businesses. In a number of cases, this
training is coupled with other forms of
assistance such as small grants, making it
hard to assess the impact
IId of training alone
 Entrepreneurship education taught in
secondary schools, such as the Educate!
programme. These programmes typically
consist of a combination of soft skills
IId training and business concepts

An example is an experiment in Tunisia

which taught entrepreneurial skills
during the last year of university. While the
study found positive impacts on starting
new firms after one
IId year

assistance such as small grants will help

IId them to come forward and participate

It is not always clear that self-employment

is the most desirable employment option.
In the longer-run, youth may also be better
investing in schooling rather than starting
a business, so that
examining employment over the longer-
IId term is important.

because the control group often starts

very few firms, measuring the impacts on
profitability or sales is difficult because
control group means
can be low. Looking at total income from
all income-earning activities, including
wage work, is likely to be
IId a better measure for comparability.
