The Ihifix Innovation Foundation – Upskill MSME Virtual Training Program is a comprehensive capacity-building initiative delivered fully online, combining live instruction with self-paced e-learning and a practical competition. Over the two-month duration, participants will progress through three main components:
- Live Virtual Training Workshop (Kickoff Session)
The program begins with a high-impact 3-4 hour live webinar, led by expert trainers from Ihifix. This interactive session introduces MSME owners to essential topics including business model innovation, scaling strategies, digital marketing, financial planning, and tech-driven growth. Through engaging presentations, case studies, and Q&A discussions, participants gain actionable insights and set clear goals for transforming their businesses. - Online Courses & Certification (Google & HP Platforms)
Following the live session, participants will access curated, self-paced online courses covering key areas like social media advertising, business strategy, ICT tools, and cybersecurity. Participants enjoy flexible learning while building real-world digital competencies.
- Post-Training Hackathon & Pitch Competition
To wrap up the program, participants will take part in a virtual hackathon where they’ll apply their newly acquired skills to develop innovative solutions or growth plans for their businesses. With support from mentors, each participant or team will submit a project or pitch showing how they plan to use digital tools to scale. Top entries will move on to a final pitch competition, with chances to win recognition, business development grants, and toolkits—reinforcing learning through practice and real-world application.
