GROW West Africa -WORK, LEARN AND EARN PROGRAM (WLEP)
A 6-Month Hybrid Whole System and Holistic Organic Farming Business Accelerator Program by GROW West Africa.
Why should someone commit 6-month of his life to such training?
Because there is a deeper connection between seeing, and touching while being taught. For example, a tomato’s life span from seed to harvesting and preservation is about 6 months. A pig will take 6 months to prepare for the heat, crossing, pregnancy stage, and delivery. Many more examples show that for any successful enterprise in the school of organic business, you will need a learning period of at least 6 months to be indoctrinated into the journey.
The training focuses on 3 months of residential and 3 month technical support, which enable participants to implement training learnings. A certificate is issued to only those who implement learnings
