The Department of Trade and Industry to host the Enterprise Development Workshop in Hammanskraal
The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) together with the City of Tshwane Municipality will host the Enterprise Development workshop at Hammanskraal Community Hall, in Pretoria on Tuesday, 25 March 2014 from 9h00.
The workshop, which is targeting small enterprises in the area, is a follow up on the visit by the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Ms Elizabeth Thabethe which took place in November last year.
Deputy Minister Thabethe says the Enterprise Development workshop is aimed at coordinating and facilitating enterprise development activities aimed at assisting aspiring enterprises to be formalised, so as to access various support interventions offered by the dti and its agencies.
"The dti is looking at educating aspiring entrepreneurs about the processes and procedures required for setting-up and running a business and also to provide technical assistance to aspiring business people and informal traders to formalise their businesses amongst other things," says Thabethe.
The workshop will address some of the concerns raised by small enterprises around the issues of access to financial support and registration challenges at the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission.
