Support to entrepreneurs through business education – Canadian LEADER project begins in Belgrade
Mirjana Doncic Beaton, Managing Director of CANSEE, said that it was one of the most prestigious business schools in the world, which for 26 years had been organizing the MBA project meant for young entrepreneurs looking to start their own business and acquire necessary skills in finance, marketing, management and human resources.
– This is one of the ways in which we stimulate economic cooperation between Serbia and Canada, as well as competitiveness of young Serbian businessmen, as we believe that this is one of the foundations of a developed society. As a developed country, Canada has good educational methods and this project is one of the best in the world – said Doncic-Beaton.
Ambassador of Canada Philip Pinnington reminded that CANSEE was organizing the LEADER project for the second year in a row to the end of stimulating the development of entrepreneurship in Serbia. He emphasized that a larger number of participants had applied in 2017 than in 2016 and that the attendees would be introduced to the best global entrepreneurial practice over the 10-day training course with the help of five Canadian instructors of the Ivey Business School.
– The young will be able to learn something new and get prepared to do business – Pinnington said.
He emphasized that the young should use the opportunity to receive training and education, thereby acquiring new knowledge and perspectives to be used in their own business. The ambassador added that the business sector in Serbia, as well as in Canada, could always be enhanced with new ideas.
Vice President of the CCIS Miroslav Miletic stated that LEADER was one of the many projects the CCIS organized in cooperation with friendly associations and that the CCIS education was crucial.
The 10-day course will be attended by 40 trainees, mostly young entrepreneurs from various industrial fields – IT, food and pharmaceutical industry, design, mining and geology and others.
The course will focus on acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge important to the development of entrepreneurship and the attendees will create and present their business plans individually and in groups. The Canadian LEADER project is an international educational program which has been realized in eight countries worldwide since 1991. It takes the form of MBA program-styled workshops, specially prepared according to the attendees’ profile in order to enable them to develop their own business ideas.
