Practitioner Workshop
Entrepreneur Training for
Immigrants:
An ESL Approach
October 6, 2005, 10:00am—11:30am PDT
Sponsored by 
Teaching entrepreneurs business English as you teach them how to
operate a business accelerates their access to larger markets and
reduces their time spent in separate ESL classes. This VESL (Vocational
English as a Second Language) based approach to Microenterprise
Training motivates the entrepreneur with practical applications
of English skills such as talking to customers, networking and working
with vendors. A VESL microenterprise program is also a highly efficient
way for a microenterprise program to serve a number of entrepreneurs
from different origins. Farhana Huq, founder of CEO Women, shares
her experience developing a VESL microenterprise program. CEO Women
was recently awarded AEO's 2005 Innovation Award for their VESL
Microenterprise Development Approach.
The workshop will cover:
- Working with ESL trainers
- Developing an engaging training materials
- Securing partners to bring the program to scale
