The Catholic Church in communist Cuba is offering a choice of educational programmes for budding entrepreneurs or co-operatives on the island. Under the courses, prospective small business owners learn how to establish and run their own companies.
The Company of Jesus, De La Salle Brothers and Archdiocese of Havana provide workshops and a two-year degree programme recognised by La Salle University in Mexico, the Archdiocese explained in its magazine, Palabra Nueva (New Word).
"We offer skills that are basic but necessary in order to adapt to the project in our country," said Jorge Mandilego, director of the Archdiocese's Cuba Emprende (Cuba Learns) project, which has taught business essentials, such as accountancy, taxation and marketing, since mid-2012.
