Business Training

The Productivity Enhancement Program (PEP) brings people together. Nowhere is that more critical than in the business relationships formed between American and Russian entrepreneurs. The true success of PEP is directly related to the quality of business training the delegates receive while in the U.S.

PEP business training is an intensive, 2 - 3 week series of training sessions through which Russian entrepreneurs learn what Americans are best qualified to teach them: how to run successful, independent businesses. Because CCI matches Russian and American business people from the same industries, the training sessions are much more than just presentations. They are two-way transfers of information and knowledge.

How exactly does this training happen? It’s simple. CCI has developed training curricula for over 60 industry sectors. Using these training modules and other powerful training tools, generous American business executives volunteer their time to deliver training sessions to their Russian counterparts. Delegates learn business basics, including strategic and business planning, financial planning, personnel management, sales and marketing, and a range of other business topics.

There’s no greater authority on the subject than someone who spent their life creating a successful business. With the large number of successful small and medium-sized businesses throughout the U.S., Russian entrepreneurs are able to gain exposure to many different companies within their same industry sector during their visit.
