This program was designed to address the main challenges faced by SMEs, including low digital literacy and limited English proficiency, which hinder market expansion, especially into international markets. The training activities were conducted through lectures and face-to-face presentations, covering digital marketing strategies based on social media platforms and the introduction of basic English vocabulary in a business context.
