Micro-, small, and medium-size enterprises (MSMEs) are vital 🔝 for growth and jobs, but struggle with productivity, says McKinsey Global Institute. The route to higher productivity lies in creating a win-win economic fabric for all companies. 💡 Do you agree?

We will be accepting 10 people to this pilot project. Entrepreneurship Training Programme for People with Disabilities 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dexUAr5e #entrepreneurship #disability #inclusivity #onlinecourse #empowerment
A 12-week online course for people with disabilities who wish to start their own business or be self-employed will be held from February to April 2025, with sessions delivered every Friday from 10:00 – 12:00. Applicants may already have a business idea that they would like to explore in this programme, but this is not a requirement because a two-hour pre-course workshop on business idea generation will be held in November 2024. The course is being delivered by the FPEI in collaboration with Technological University Dublin and Edward de Bono Institute for Creative Thinking and Innovation at the University of Malta. Malta Enterprise is supporting the initiative, so it is free of charge for all participants. 🔗 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/d7QCWQHD 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dc5nS6Hv #entrepreneurship #disabilityresources #onlinetraining Leonie Baldacchino | Thomas Cooney | Margaret Mangion | Joe Tanti | Anthony David Gatt | George Gregory
