challenges:

The 2019 Impact Assessment found that for the SIYB only 52% of individuals who were trained became certified and only 26% remained active and for SCORE only 55% were certified and 32% remained active. External risks such as COVID impact and changing dynamics in the general SME sector/business environment also play a role.

success:

Attrition is to be expected with TOT programs such as SIYB and SCORE, the important thing is that a pool of certified expert trainers is charging new trainers and financially independent from ILO

context:

The ILO established a system of cascading TOT training where trainers and expert trainers provide training and TOT on a fee for service basis to trainers and entrepreneurs. There is an important question as to whether and how this system can be sustainable without support from the ILO.

description:

Business management training for SMEs can survive on a fee for service basis but this does not mean there won’t be trainer attrition and trainers wont experience difficulties in marketing their products. The primary building block for sustainability of the courses is a pool of certified Master/Expert trainers, who can deliver TOTs on a commercial basis. It is important to track trainer behaviour and learn what factors are important in enabling them to market their training.
