 Junior Achievement Azerbaijan has launched Phase I of the Community Economics Education Program (COMEEP) funded by British Petroleum and partners. COMEEP aims at developing the business workforce through economic training for secondary school students, university and college students and graduates, emerging business representatives and other interested community members.
COMEEP will select 9 community centers with active community action groups in Yevlakh, Kurdamir, Ujar, Agdash, Samukh and Aghstafa. Through these centers the program will provide training of trainers for eighteen community members and training on the Fundamentals of Market Economy (FOME), the Global Business Ethics (GBE) and the Company Program (CP) for secondary school students, university and college students and graduates, emerging business representatives and other interested community members. Most successful training participants will participate in the Work Experience Program that will take them to real business environment and teach best management practices to be used in their own businesses.  The Program will help to build a market economy in rural communities and assist in strengthening Azerbaijan’s capacity for rural business development in these regions. COMEEP will work in relatively disadvantaged in terms of business and economic training regions; JAA expects COMEEP sites to become an important and useful element of the target communities. COMEEP outreach strategy will approach local and national business community and Azerbaijani Government to support the program after BP funding ends. COMEEP activities and its trainers will be important additions to these communities that lack economic, financial and business literacy.
