Micro-learning videos for small businesses and entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia

These micro-learning videos are designed to address major knowledge gaps among small businesses in Southeast Asia. Topics were selected based on in-depth needs assessments conducted with 200 business owners and 34,000 entrepreneurs in Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The content is delivered by experts and peer entrepreneurs in local languages, with localized case studies for each country. Learning journeys are split into two courses: the Small Business Course is designed for existing business owners looking to digitalize and improve their operations, and the Entrepreneurship Course supports entrepreneurs considering starting a business. Both courses were developed by a consortium of organizations that have deep expertise in small business support in their respective countries.

If your organization serves small businesses in Southeast Asia that may be able to benefit from access to this content, please get in touch.
