Training for Entrepreneurs
This course goes beyond simply preparing jams and jellies. The idea is to train new entrepreneurs or strengthen those who are already in the market, especially individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEIs). Handmade production has gained more and more space in the Brazilian market, and the demand for products like jams and jellies has been growing, mainly due to the appreciation of homemade items made with natural ingredients.
The SEBRAE and the Social Fund have joined forces to create this opportunity precisely because they understand that to succeed in the market, it is not enough to know how to produce — it is essential to also master sales techniques, marketing, and financial management. Thus, participants will leave the course prepared both to manufacture quality products and to manage their own business sustainably and profitably.
