BT Club is launching two new financial education programmes for entrepreneurs whose companies are just starting out, as well as for future founders, the Financial Intelligence Seminar and the Practical Ideas for the First Months of a Start-up Seminar. Each programme will run for roughly two years.

The Club is an initiative by Banca Transilvania and its mission is to support entrepreneurial culture and education. It is the first programme of its kind on Romania’s banking market and was launched 10 years ago. BT Club’s average annual budget for education is 150,000 euros.

The two new programmes: BT Club tour across key cities

The programmes are part of a tour planned across the country’s most representative cities. The courses are open to all entrepreneurs, and registration is free at www.btclub.ro.

• The Financial Intelligence Seminar is designed for those interested in their own education as a basis for better management of both personal and business finances, with a positive impact on quality of life. It is delivered by Eusebiu Burcas, a money management consultant and financial trainer.
• The Practical Ideas for the First Months of a Start-up Seminar is aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs. The programme will be delivered in collaboration with Magnoliu Stan, who has extensive experience in consultancy and training, as well as in entrepreneurship.

BT Club and Banca Transilvania estimate that more than 20,000 individuals and companies will benefit from these two programmes, with an average of 200 participants per course.
