Enterprise Seychelles Agency organized its first training post-COVID to teach entrepreneurs and individuals how to sow masks. The training was held today 9th July 2020 at SIDOL at Mont Fleuri. The objectives of the facial mask sewing course were as follows:
- To inform about the standards and requirements of “How”, “Why” and “When” to use a mask onboard public transportation during this new normal;
- To teach and share knowledge in benefit of the finished products;
- To offer skills to workers or identified groups of people with such needs in effect of the COVID-19 pandemic;
- To offer re-skilling services to redundant candidates.
The CEO of ESA urged the entrepreneurs to take this opportunity to learn new skills to help with the huge demand for facial masks in Seychelles, in view of the current situation we are facing. The facilitators of the training were Mrs. Brenda Lepathy for the practical sewing training, Mrs. Tina Hoareau to provide the relevant information in regards to the health and safety standards for quality of masks and Mr. Peter Roselie to discuss about the pricing strategy and to give financial tips to the participants.
