Helping ladies grow their potential as business dynamos, the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) helps them to become successful at business enterprise.
Implementer of the AWE Programme, Deidre Lee Kin, says the programme is run in 80 counties and T&T is taking part for the second time.
Assistant Public Affairs Officer of the US Embassy, Rose Rodgers, says their interest in the project is to move both women and communities forward. This year, a pitch competition was done to allocate financing to six businesses as supported by the US Embassy.
Ms. Rose said the range was intriguing. Ms. Rose says the business women are never deserted as there are post benefits of the programme, including networking, alumni grants, and mentorship to maintain support of the various businesses.
