DIGITAL COURSE ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

In response to challenges that emerge during the evolution of entrepreneurship initiatives, it becomes urgent to empower entrepreneurs, so that they can timely respond to such challenges on the basis of informed and documented decisions. Therefore, the Permanent Secretariat of SELA, together with the Institute for Advanced Studies (IESA by its Spanish acronym), is organizing the “Digital course on entrepreneurship in Latin America and the Caribbean”, which aims to train new entrepreneurs, so that they can develop their entrepreneurship while taking advantage of the benefits offered by Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs); identify the obstacles that may arise during the development of the entrepreneurship project and may threaten the consolidation of the entrepreneurial initiative; and provide entrepreneurs with tools that enable them to develop personal and inter-personal skills and practices, so that they can overcome, in a timely and efficient manner, the obstacles inherent to the development of an entrepreneurial initiative. The course is aimed at entrepreneurs in Latin America and the Caribbean and will be taught in Spanish and English.
