start-up<\/span>-ondernemings w\u00eareldwyd sal binne die eerste jaar misluk, terwyl 60% dit nie verby jaar drie sal maak nie. Hierdie is ontstellende syfers, maar sake-eienaars moet dapper wees en probeer volhard om hul ondernemings te laat groei, selfs al is dit eers net \u2019n tydverdryf voordat dit in \u2019n latere stadium behoorlik van die grond afkom.<\/p>\n\u2019n Verdere uitdaging is egter dat na afloop van die Covid-19-inperking daar steeds baie klein- en medium sake-eienaars en informele handelaars is wat uitdagings in hul bemarkingstrategie\u00eb, finansi\u00eble aangeleenthede en sakebedrywighede ervaar.<\/p>\n
Die doel van hierdie reeks werksessies sal wees om die kommersi\u00eble lewensvatbaarheid van die Breedevallei se klein- en medium sake-eienaars en informele handelaars met opleiding en kapasiteitsbou te verbeter, wat dan uiteindelik sal help om die sake-omgewing te verbeter.<\/p>\n
In di\u00e9 sin sal die werksessies dan veral gefokus wees op klein- en medium sake-eienaars en informele handelaars wat voorheen nie die nodige opleidingsgeleenthede in sakebestuur gehad het nie, maar sal ook diegene help wat beplan om hul ondernemings te begin en van die grond af te kry.<\/p>\n
Die doel sal egter wees om te verseker dat di\u00e9 groeperings die nodige ondersteuning het sodat hulle hul sakebedrywighede en winste kan verbeter en terselfdertyd ook hul kanse verbeter om plaaslike werksgeleenthede te help skep.<\/p>\n
Die volgende onderwerpe gaan alles op hierdie leerplatform behandel word \u2013 die ontleding van die onderneming se behoeftes; die diagnosering van die onderneming se uitdagings; die identifisering van diversifiseringsmoontlik-hede van die onderneming; die oordrag van kennis oor hoe die onderneming doeltreffend bestuur moet word; \u2019n poging om informele ondernemings te formaliseer; voorstelling aan die konsep van sektorale groepe (sectoral clusters<\/span>) en watter voordele dit vir sakeondernemings inhou en; hoe waardekettings werk en hoe om mededinging en veral opposisie te hanteer.<\/p>\nDie bywoning van di\u00e9 werksessies sal help om doeltreffende leierskapsvaardighede<\/span> te ontwikkel; om \u2019n beter begrip te vorm oor hoe om \u2019n onderneming te bestuur; om spesifieke uitdagings in sekere sektore te oorbrug; om besluitneming, kommunikasievaardighede en produktiwiteit te verbeter; om \u2019n onderneming te laat groei; en om geleenthede te identifiseer.<\/p>\nDie BVM se plaaslike ekonomiese-ontwikkeling-afdeling teiken juis hierdeur klein- en medium sake-eienaars en informele handelaars in \u2019n poging om gemeenskap deur ekonomiese groei te integreer en in hierdie opsig is finansiering opsygesit wat aan die konstruksie van fasiliteite vir sakeondernemings bestee gaan word.<\/p>\n
Die werksessies maak spesifiek ook voorsiening vir gestremdes, met \u2019n gebaretaal-tolk wat ook gaan help. Terselfdertyd word vervoer ook verskaf aan diegene vir wie d\u00edt \u2019n uitdaging is. <\/p>\n
Ten einde maksimum bywoning te verseker, gaan die werksessies spesifiek in De Doorns, Rawsonville, Touwsrivier en Worcester aangebied word.<\/p>\n
Belangstellende klein- en medium sake-eienaars en informele handelaars kan e-pos aan die onderstaande e-posadresse stuur. \u2019n Webskakel wat meer inligting oor die werksessies bevat, sal dan aan mense teruggestuur word. Inwoners van De Doorns kan stuur aan: dedoornsled@bvm.gov.za; inwoners van Rawsonville kan e-posse stuur aan: rawsonvilleled@bvm.gov.za; inwoners van Touwsrivier kan stuur aan: touwsriverled@bvm.gov.za en; inwoners van Worcester kan stuur aan: worcesterled@bvm.gov.za <\/p>\n
Aangesien heelwat moeite en beplanning van die kant van die Kaapse Wynland-distrikmunisipaliteit en die Breedevallei-munisipaliteit in die aanbieding van di\u00e9 werksessies ingaan, word belangstellende klein- en medium sake-eienaars en informele handelaars aangeraai om nie di\u00e9 geleenthede deur die vingers te laat glip nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
