Participants

The YEP program is unique! It teaches management theories that you can apply to your own business practice. This is a real differentiating feature of our program. You are encouraged to apply theoretical knowledge on management and entrepreneurship to your own position in your current job. What you learn in the training sessions can be implemented within the context of your daily responsibilities the next day.

YEP simulations and exercises are the heart of the program. These exercises help you to practice and improve your management skills. In training you will work in project teams, dealing with cases which reflect real challenges in life and work. This training method bridges theory and practice and strengthens your entrepreneurial skills and management capabilities.

‘This is a life changing program’. ‘I learned to become a better manager’. ‘I improved my communication skills’. ‘I got promoted to General Manager in my company’. These and many more quotes come from participants who completed YEP. YEP enriches your set of management skills and strengthens your entrepreneurial behaviour. Many Ethiopian managers have seen the change in themselves and in their colleagues who participated in YEP.

All YEP trainers have experience in management and international business. You will benefit from our trainers’ in-depth knowledge and expertise, adapting best practises and proven methods. You’ll be inspired and encouraged to start implementing strategic changes in life and business.

Set your own goals and work on your personal growth. Your YEP coach guides you through the two-year program. While working on your Personal Development Plan, your YEP coach will support you in reaching your objectives. This program includes individual counseling sessions for all participants.

You will be encouraged to make real changes, in  personal life and business environments. You’ll increase your impact. People will recognize your management skills and entrepreneurial behaviour. This will certainly lead you to new opportunities and achievements.
