Institute of Entrepreneurs Zimbabwe (IEOZ) has empowered a number of entrepreneurs operating in inaccessible areas around the country to thrive in their businesses.
This was said by IEOZ's Ceo Kudzanai Vere during a networking breakfast organised by the Zimbabwe Chamber Small to Medium Enterprises (ZCSMEs) in Harare yesterday.
The meeting ran under the theme: Building Resilience: Strategies for SMEs to thrive in uncertain times.
"We are the only revolutionary Institute in Zimbabwe with a practical approach to training entrepreneurs.
"We do have our system which operates outside the conventional institutional demands such as Ordinary level passes.
"To date we have helped entrepreneurs from Gwanda, Gokwe, Binga and Chipinge," he said.
Vere added that once one is trained by IEOZ they automatically become a member of our institution.
This comes at a time some entrepreneurs living outside urban areas have been complaining for being neglected on government and private projects.
