In an initial 13-day training, participants will be introduced to the basic business skills required to succeed as an entrepreneur as well as the local requirements for registering and operating a business. Topics covered will include the fundamentals of customer service, sales, accounting for small businesses, risk and feasibility assessment, and strategic planning. Site visits will be made to selected small businesses started and run by women. This portion of the program will culminate in the development of a business plan.

This will be followed by a period of practical application during which the women will begin the implementation of their business plans, either proceeding with the establishment of a new business venture or developing an existing business concern. Citi will assign mentors to provide support and assistance throughout this period, fielded locally as well as through Citi’s global Women’s Diversity Network. The groups will gather periodically to review progress and share success stories, and access to AMIDEAST’s new online Entrepreneurship Forum will encourage the women to network and support each other during this period, both within and across countries.

Please send your application form and materials by email to awepmaroc@amideast.org The deadline for submitting your registration is December 16th. The training is scheduled to start in January and will take place in Casablanca.
