“It is an opportunity for them to test the markets, to sharpen their trading skills, to improve their products, pricing and promotion, and in between markets, traders are encouraged to empower themselves in various elements of business from marketing, social media training, mentorship, finance and product development. The Citadel Glenwood has a 12-seater training space and a six-seater boardroom where traders can book for training as well as engage the services of local businessmen and women for expertise on how to better their businesses,” she continued.
