Gain essential skills, expand your network, and get the resources you need to grow. Women aged 25-55, whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or a start-up founder, this is your moment!
The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) is a global program of the U.S. Department of State that is committed to providing women the knowledge, tools, and networks they need to establish and grow their businesses. Through facilitated online learning, women will further their business skills, learn from mentors, and execute their business plan, ensuring long-lasting results.
AWE Pakistan seeks to promote collective economic prosperity and global stability by creating a holistic, inclusive learning community to advance the development of Pakistani women entrepreneurs.
AWE uses Dream Builder, an online training program for women entrepreneurs that was developed through a partnership between Arizona State University’s Thunderbird School of Management and global copper mining company Freeport-McMoRan, which teaches women to create their own business plans, understand how to raise capital, and connect with networks of successful business owners.
