SME Training

BSP Financial Group Limited’s SME Retail in partnership with Australian Business Volunteers (ABV) facilitated the two-week pilot training for “Your Enterprise Scheme” through its network of Skilled Business Professionals. 

The initiative like the partnership between Small to Medium Enterprise Corporation (SMEC) and the Catholic Diocese of Kimbe, is a pilot program to see if it will pan out well and with its results, panel a decision to roll out to other provinces.

The two week SME training program was held with facilitators from SMEC.

SMEC led a two week SME training that included the building of a one stop shop incubation Centre that will assist local SME’s in the province

Forty-one priests and other clergy men from the Catholic Diocese in West New Britain attended the training.

The SME Training was done in two batches. One group had 20 attendees at Kaibo while the next group of 42 trained at the Buvusi AOG church ground.

Papua New Guineans must rise up and exercise discipline in business to be successful says the Managing Director of Small Medium Enterprise Corporation Petrus Ralda. Ralda added that people have the capabilities and the resources but lack discipline.
