| Description: | Through the productive units, the programme Jóvenes Rurales Emprendedores enables the grouping or business organisation that is not legally constituted and that commercialises goods and services. It is expected that after the application of the knowledge built by apprentices during their training, new businesses will be envisioned in small enterprises. As part of its support for the creation of productive units, the programme supports the generation of agribusinesses. Once the project is underway, it is monitored by the SENA entrepreneurship unit for a period of four or five months. At the end of this stage, advice can continue as required by the interested parties, for example, including advice on how to draw up a formal business plan and how to access sources of financing. |
