Review for Caribbean Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Livelihoods (CoESL), Bridgetown, , Barbados
COESL has been instrumental in bringing Entrepreneurs together and creating opportunities for funding and development. This year I participated with them to find an outstanding Caribbean entrepreneur to represent the region in an International competition. They continue to provide opportunities for personal development grounded in Peace and Community. It is my honour to recommend them for this award!
Review for Caribbean Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Livelihoods (CoESL), Bridgetown, , Barbados
Dr. Brandon saw potential in me even when I didn't see it myself. Dr. Brandon has provided and created opportunities for me to showcase my non-traditional business in the area of alternative and complementary Health Care. As a result, I have been able to gain greater visibility and the business continues to grow. I am very grateful for Dr. Marcia Brandon and the COESL team.
Review for Caribbean Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Livelihoods (CoESL), Bridgetown, , Barbados
My experience with COESL has been truly outstanding. The management and staff are courteous, they listen and go over and above the call of duty to assist entrepreneurs. Dr Brandon has shown faith in me even when I did not see the potential in myself.
She has been encouraging and thrown me into challenging positions like teaching sessions on Team-work and Entrepreneurial mind-set when I had not done it before. However she discussed the topics with me and I developed an outline was able to deliver the sessions successfully. The organisation has sought and obtained sponsorship on my company's behalf to allow us to attend the Inaugural MSME Conference in Jamaica and is always keeping us abreast of new opportunities in the marketplace including opportunities for grant funding from time to time.
