2024/25 ACADEMY PROGRAMME KICKED OFF
While our pilot group of 2023/24 are in the final stretch of their programme, the incoming cohort for 2024/25 has just kicked off their programme. If you are interested to know more about the AMIE Academy and the services we offer towards industry transformation, make contact.
We asked our current candidates if they would recommend the AMIE Academy Programme
“Definitely – one can gather a lot of information from this course and the business development is outstanding for small businesses. The courses are theoretically dense but provide the relevant information that any aspiring entrepreneur should know.”
“Yes, I would highly recommend this program. It offers comprehensive training that equips participants with valuable information presented engagingly. The positive feedback we receive can be implemented immediately in our businesses.”
WHO IS THE AMIE ACADEMY
The Academy is the transformation initiative of AMIE and our main goal is to develop SME’s who can actively and successfully operate in the international meat and poultry trading industry. This can either be as traders or as adjacent service providers within the value chain offering support services. The programme and curriculum are aligned with Enterprise Supplier Development (ESD) Principles in a demonstrative way. We used a tried and tested method that equips SME’s, identify gaps and identify mitigations to step-change SME’s.
The programme comprises a 12-month development programme focussed on preciously disadvantaged (PDA) individuals who are either identified by companies as Enterprise Supplier Development (ESD) candidates, future leaders of imports/export companies and entrepreneurs who wish to upscale to a bigger footprint.
2. AMIE is also assisting our members in balancing their BBBEE Scorecards. Invest in skills development and enterprise development to ensure governance makes business sense. Contact us for ESD solutions or advice.
