BTG ED Corporate Programs

BTG is looking at providing a holistic approach that will support SMME’s at various phases of their business cycle.

BTG ED Corporate Programs This corporate program is targeted at organisations and business who wish to engage and incorporate SMMEs, corporative and community-based business into their enterprise development or social responsibility and those that: 

  • Have funds to support ED but do not have a vehicle to drive the programs
  • Need capacity building for beneficiaries receiving funding from State-Owned and International funders
  • Partnerships with corporates who have ED programmes to ensure sustainable ED programs that will result in great and evident impact.

The In-Q-Bata Process Identify the candidates for the In-Q-Bata Present the idea and get buy-in from business owners Sign a Memorandum of Agreement that will define the terms of reference and commitments of parties in the three years process which will be reviewable on agreed intervals. Official meeting to explain the programme to shareholders and staff to ensure full buy in. Complete a needs assessment of the business and its key personnel in getting a clear picture of the development path. Share with the business the development path and sign off commitments of delivery. Begin training and developments process. Periodic status meetings to check progress. It is important to note that this entire process will be managed by the owner of the business. BTG is there as support but all decisions remain the prerogative of the business owner.
