BEES believes in people’s
participation in the development process. Training becomes one of the key
components of the development activities of BEES. It is proven that the
potentiality, knowledge, attitude and practice of people lag behind because
of the absence of enlightened and trained people. Training adds perfection
to any intervention. It is an essential input to bring a positive change in
the sustainable development. BEES is developing a paramount of capable and
skilled people at the grassroots level.
Realizing the training needs, BEES has been actively upgrading its training
mechanism as an important tool for building institutions. BEES conducts
specific on-the-job and skill-oriented training courses to develop a skilled
workforce both at staff and beneficiaries level.
BEES
has been organizing different training courses within its own capacity by
giving due importance to the needs of staff as well as its group members.
Training courses are planned, designed and arranged as per the need and
priority. During the training courses, knowledge and skills are transferred
to trainees as they go through teaching and learning exercises in the
classroom and practical experience in the filed as well. BEES appreciates
the process of sharing and mutual learning through participatory approach in
conducting courses. Relevant training methods are carefully selected on the
basis of the level of the participants’ knowledge and skills.

the recipients and staff to reach the goals of poverty alleviation and
