Inclusive Entrepreneurship Training

When you think of farming, you might picture soil, sweat, and harvests. But at AgroT Hub, farming is also about innovation, opportunity, and empowerment. Our entrepreneurship training goes beyond the fields, focusing on business development, idea incubation, and local leadership, especially for youth, women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

Why Entrepreneurship Training Matters

In many rural parts of Ghana, access to quality education, capital, and mentorship is limited, especially for marginalized groups. We recognized that challenge and stepped in with a solution: entrepreneurship training tailored to the real-world needs of the people who need it most.

What the Training Covers

The entrepreneurship training is practical, interactive, and community-focused. Here’s a peek into what participants experience:

  • Ideation & Opportunity Mapping
    Helping participants identify real-life business opportunities within their communities.
  • Local Market Research
    Teaching how to test product ideas, understand customer needs, and build value-driven solutions.
  • Business Modeling & Planning
    Covering essentials like business model canvas, pricing, and feasibility studies.
  • Pitching & Funding Access
    Coaching participants on how to confidently pitch their business ideas to attract support and investors.
  • Hands-On Mentorship
    Participants don’t just learn, they’re mentored by experienced trainers, many of whom are entrepreneurs themselves.
