CEFE Method

The CEFE Method (Competency-based Economies through Formation of Entrepreneurs) is a dynamic training approach that fosters entrepreneurial skills through experiential learning and action-based activities. By focusing on personal and business competencies, CEFE enhances problem-solving, decision-making, and management skills, which are essential for income generation and sustainable economic growth. Initially designed to train individuals, CEFE has evolved into a versatile methodology applied across various sectors, including rural development, project management, and employability schemes. CEFE International tailors its programs for diverse groups, such as entrepreneurs, refugees, marginalized populations, and students, contributing to employment and economic resilience worldwide.
