•  Training of Enterprise Support Team (TEST): TESTs are offered to NGO staff, implementation agencies, line departments, and leaders of the SHGs.
•  Grassroots Management Training (GMT) for producers and SHG members.

GMTs can be further divided into Direct GMT (conducted by Udyogini staff) and GMTs facilitated by Udyogini (trained Self Help Group/NGO or implementation agency functionary conducts the training at grassroots level and Udyogini representatives provide the necessary supervision, and handholding during this process). The curriculum for the GMT is similar to the ones in TEST. However, the modules are spaced over a longer period depending on the absorptive capacity of participants and their schedules. The materials are also different—audio-visual, and interactive--hence, engaging for illiterate clients. Training materials include posters, games, short-plays, role-plays, and exercises. Videos and CDs are also used. An interactive, computer based, marketing quiz has also been developed. The TEST for literate and aware SHG leaders is a “hybrid” (in terms of materials used) of TEST and GMT materials. Business people are also involved as resource persons in TESTs and in the “hybrid” TESTs.

TEST is offered as spaced modules (over several months) with GMTs in between to enable trainers to transfer and apply the learning among grassroots producers. Udyogini provides review and support to trainers during GMTs. Alternatively, refresher TESTs are conducted at the end of the program to identify areas of difficulty and conduct training to improve knowledge and application capacity. TESTs are offered at locations at or nearest to where the clients are. GMTs are completely in field locations.

The training programs are completely participatory and are delivered with the help of posters, charts, games, case studies, and videotapes. Efforts are made to continuously develop training materials and methods appropriate and suitable for use with illiterate women. The training materials are field tested in Udyogini's project areas to find the effectiveness of the material.
