Qredits officially launched the first-ever Agri Business Academy (ABA) on Sint Maarten.
Supporting and strengthening entrepreneurship on St. Maarten
On Wednesday, Qredits successfully concluded its first official Introduction to Entrepreneurship course, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to support and empower aspiring entrepreneurs on Sint Maarten. This achievement highlights Qredits' commitment to fostering economic growth and creating opportunities for local individuals who dream of starting or growing their own businesses.
The 5-week program was designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of entrepreneurship. Participants were introduced to essential topics such as business planning, goal setting, market analysis, and mindset development. The course also emphasized practical skills, providing attendees with tools to develop viable business ideas and strategies to overcome challenges commonly faced by entrepreneurs.
These valuable lessons were delivered by Damien Schmidt, an experienced instructor whose expertise and practical guidance were instrumental in helping participants gain confidence and clarity in their entrepreneurial journeys.
The Introduction to Entrepreneurship course serves as a stepping stone toward more advanced training opportunities, such as the Qredits Small Business Academy. By laying this foundational knowledge, Qredits is ensuring that participants are well-prepared to take the next steps toward realizing their business aspirations. Graduates of this introductory program now have the tools and confidence to refine their ideas, develop actionable plans, and take advantage of other resources offered by Qredits.
Beyond training, Qredits remains steadfast in its mission to support local entrepreneurship through a holistic approach. This includes accessible training, personalized coaching, and financing opportunities tailored to the needs of small business owners.
By empowering entrepreneurs, Qredits is playing a key role in building a stronger, more resilient economy on Sint Maarten. This initiative reflects Qredits' broader vision of creating a lasting impact on the island by inspiring innovation and fostering sustainable economic development for years to come.
