Accomplishments that we're proud of
We successfully launched a pilot program that received positive feedback from participants, demonstrating increased confidence in digital skills and noticeable improvements in their business operations.
What we learned
We learned the importance of customization in training programs and the effectiveness of gamification, such as incentives, to motivate small business owners to engage with digital learning resources.
