I am a founder of BUTA Art & Sweets - a social business, reducing unemployment problem of local women with special needs through sales of handmade sweets and educational programs
Hi dear @Jodee ! Thanks for such a great question! Before pandemic we organized all educational programs offline. But during the crisis we decided to focus much more on emotional intelligence and development of soft & technical skills. It was a great time to update our knowledge and we invited professional coaches and trainers to train our women. The main challenge was persuading our women to change their habits, as they are 40-50 y.o. and they didn't adapt to work online. So we talked with them constantly in order to achieve results during pandemic and now they are also working with local mentors to develop their businesses online :)
