Our 10-day training approach

The YET program is delivered in two phases of five days each, with a practical assignment period between the two phases.

Phase 1 · 5 days

Discover, develop & plan

The first phase helps young people understand themselves as potential entrepreneurs and develop a clear business idea.

At the end of Phase 1, participants receive practical tasks to complete, allowing them to test, research, and develop their business ideas before returning for Phase 2.

Between the two training phases, participants work on practical activities related to starting their business. These activities may include researching customers and competitors, exploring potential locations, refining their business idea, identifying resources, and developing their initial business plan.

The practical period helps participants connect the knowledge gained during training with the realities of starting a business.

Phase 2 · 5 days

Strengthen, market & prepare

The second phase focuses on strengthening the entrepreneur and preparing the business for sustainable operation.

Learning through practical questions

This approach helps young people develop both entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial confidence.

For organizations & individual youth

Slisha Services provides YET training to organizations that want to establish or implement a Youth Entrepreneurship Program (YEP) as well as to individual young people who want to start a business independently.

We can tailor the training approach according to the needs of the organization, target group, and program objectives.

Parent & caregiver workshops

Entrepreneurship can be more successful when young people receive encouragement from their families. Where requested, Slisha Services can also provide workshops for parents and caregivers to help them understand youth entrepreneurship, encourage young entrepreneurs, and provide constructive support.

Important information

Slisha Services provides training and facilitation services only.
The YET package does not include seed funding, start-up capital, or post-training business follow-up/mentorship. Organizations or individual participants are responsible for arranging any financing, business investment, or follow-up support they may require.
Our fee is therefore based on the training services provided.

Looking for seed money, mentoring and a year of follow-up? That is our Youth Entrepreneurship Program.

Ready to empower young entrepreneurs?

If your organization is planning to introduce a Youth Entrepreneurship Program, or if you are a young person with a business idea and want practical entrepreneurship training, Slisha Services can support you with a structured, action-oriented YET program.
