The women who attended the cycle of 15 courses starting in 2012 learned about legal procedures, self-esteem management, brand design and other essential issues to run a company successfully.
That first step of the training, which concluded with the design of a business plan, taught them about the exploration of market opportunities, business organization, credits and other procedures.
