I am an entrepreneur, I am a social entrepreneur, I work for a company, I work for a business organisation, I work for a philanthropic foundation, I am just interested

About my work:
etc4CA is a commercial venture, launched in 2010, to equip people in Central Asia to do business better.
We are experienced business professionals who have successfully worked for many years in multi-national companies.

etc4CA provides three types of services:

•Business consulting services for small/medium enterprises;
•Education and training of practical business skills; and
•Project-based solutions for sustainable business developments.
Topics on my radar:
Base of the Pyramid, Education, Enterprise Development, Environment, Finance and Investment, Inclusive Business Models, Measuring Impact, Partnerships, Trade, Water, Women and Business, Youth Enterprise
Other Topics on my radar:
We are particularly focused upon getting businesses (all sizes) to realise the importance of vision, mission, strategy and business planning. This will increase their likelihood of both success and sustainability.

etc4CA Business Education and Training

etc4CA’s effectiveness in traditional classroom educational and training delivery methods is based on two key success factors:

1. The pedagogy applied during the course

A variety of learning techniques are designed to put the client at the heart of the event: case studies, role-plays, identifying together the principles of good practice.

Individual and group activities allow each person not only to benefit from the collective competence of the group, but also facilitate individual assimilation of knowledge and skills, which will not be the same for all participants.

Our consultants become facilitators and their role is to assist the course attendees in discovering things for themselves. The consultant facilitates application of knowledge to real-life business situations ensuring transfer of skills into each person’s own job or company.

2. Placing this education or training within a career timeframe

Education and training sessions are unique learning events that begin well before the first session and, more importantly, continue long after courses have finished.

To maximise the opportunity these sessions represent, etc4CA offers a set of solutions and methodologies that go far beyond the classroom presentations:

  • Individualised consulting support to optimise the effectiveness of the education/training programme, and to assist in implementation of the newly acquired skills and knowledge.
  • Support of ‘train the trainer’ cascading of skills
  • Validation and certification of skills.
