During the training, participants engaged in various interactive sessions covering key aspects of entrepreneurship, such as business planning, financial management, marketing strategies, and innovation. Expert trainers from the EDC led these sessions, providing valuable insights and hands-on experience to ensure the participants could translate their learnings into actionable business plans.
