16.0 Closing comments: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
In recent years, Tanzania has embarked upon the economic recovery process and is continuing to build upon and address the needs of MSMEs. Key informants from the MIT-SME Section acknowledged the current and future potential of women entrepreneurs and, although seriously under-resourced for the tasks ahead, the SME Section is enthusiastic and committed to working with the international donor community to support this target group. Coordination of all support efforts is crucial. A mechanism for achieving this is recommended – either an officer fully dedicated to the development of women’s enterprise or the establishment of a more formal Office for Women’s Enterprise Development (OWED).

10.2 Pre-start-up training: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Data from a 1997-98 training needs assessment of informal sector operators found that over 75 per cent of informal sector operators had primary education, while only seven per cent had attended vocational training courses. Most had acquired their skills in a variety of trades through apprenticeships or directly from their peers, but were unaware of the theoretical aspects (reported in Mlingi, 2000, p. 81). Only 5.3 per cent of the MSEs in the Swisscontact (2003) study had received any entrepreneurship training, and even fewer in new product technologies or costing and pricing. This suggests that most MSEs are “learning through trial and error” or from the practical know-how of other operators.

Are you a good match maker?
I’m not referring to your love life, but your recruitment process! Do you get it right every time? Why is it necessary to invest time and money in the recruitment process? You know the situation. You’ve just spent six months training your new recruit. Your number two has invested a lot of her time in this training, and then the employee leaves. You have to go through the entire advertising and interview process again, and you have lost money, not only on the new recruit, but also in the time spent by your experienced member of staff. So how do you get it right? The most important point is to have a firm idea of the job role: the technical competencies required, and the personality fit.

Staff Training : The Process
Beyond the technical task of implementing a new EMR system, you will be required to train your staff to use it well. Here is a working strategy for preparing a training plan to successfully bring your employees into the next generation.
A False Assumption Made by Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs
In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business. He calls it 'The Fatal Assumption'. That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work. In other words, don't assume that if you know how to bake pies (technical work of a business), it means you know how to successfully run a business that sells pies (business that does that technical work).

Most trainers start their career in technical roles. After all, before they become confident to teach others, they need to know the topic they want to teach inside out. Learning something deeply takes years and requires a lot of persistence. Eventually, a technical person may decide that it is time to start transferring that knowledge to others. This is where training and knowing how to train others comes into equation. We all know that someone can be very good at what they do but might not be good at telling you how they do it. On the other hand, some people are very good at explaining everything in simple terms, even though they are not world famous in their technical field.

Where the Jobs Are/Will Be
Not surprisingly, the job growth in technical fields will exceed the increases in the non-technical.
Is Your Sales Training Missing These Ingredients?
The last time you went on sales training, were you engaged in the decision? How long was the sale training and/or was the sales training ongoing or was it just the flavor of the month? When or what day(s) of the week was the sales training delivered - during pay time or no pay time? Did the sales training take your personal sales needs and learning methods into consideration? Were you able to apply the sales training methods in the real world? Were you encouraged to return for further sales training or to meet with your sales coach and discuss your experience? Was the sales training based on sales management objectives?
