The Academy of Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) over the weekend graduated a total of 75 trainees who participated in the 6th cohort training.
The 13-week training, which took participants through, planning your dream, identifying your customer, how to market services or products, social marketing, Branding and social media marketing, was funded by the United States of America Embassy.
Participants were also trained in financing and accounting, customer management, risk management, taxation, confidence building, strategic planning and how to pitch business ideas.
According to the Country Lead Implementor, Dr Shola Safo-Duodu, this year's cohort was different from the previous years as AWE focused on women who already set up their business for at least two or three years to scale them up in terms of business planning and pitching to investors. "And the courses are structured in such a way that it answers a particular section of a business plan," she mentioned.
