Entrepreneurial Education Program Launched for Women in Developing Countries
Wharton Executive
Education will offer a significant
leg-up to aspiring
women entrepreneurs
in China, India, and Egypt
through a program launched
this March. The Women
Entrepreneurship Education
Initiative is a part of The
Goldman Sachs Group’s
10,000 Women initiative, a
project with partner schools
around the world that will
provide business and management
education to 10,000
under-served women, largely
those in developing and
emerging markets.
“Business schools can be a
force for good in the world,
and this collaboration is an
excellent way of fulfilling
that promise,” says Wharton
Dean Thomas S. Robertson.
The Initiative will offer a
Certificate of Professional
Development for Women
Entrepreneurs, providing
participants with essential
business knowledge to build
and lead successful businesses.
Wharton Executive
Education will design the
program and deliver it in
collaboration with local partners
such as the American
University in Cairo, Egypt,
and the Indian School of
Business in Hyderabad,
India. It will also use classroom
sessions, workshops, and distance learning modules
coordinated through
Knowledge@Wharton.
