Subsequently, targeted technical and financial assistance will be provided to enable an interface with group of SMEs that may be willing to buy export related strategic services from the trained consultants. Programme Structure The programme is spread over a period of one year and is divided into four parts: - Phase I: 10 days class-room training at IIFT Phase II: Interface with SMEs, where the trained consultants will be introduced to the local industry in select clusters to practice the learnings in export consultancy services from the training Phase III: A 3-day follow up training (after six months) at IIFT Phase IV: Provision of result based financial support against actual delivery of services to SMEs (more details below) The trained consultants will remain into continuous dialogue with the IIFT experts and other panelists through a web based forum.
