On November 30, the Federal educational program for the development of women's entrepreneurship "Mama-entrepreneur"will start in the Murmansk region. Those who want to take free business training can apply until November 23 on the website. To successfully pass the selection process and become a participant in the program, you need to fill out a questionnaire and describe your future business project in detail.
The program is open to women on maternity leave or with minor children who are just planning to start a business or are engaged in business for no more than a year. The jury will select 35 best applications, the authors of which will be invited to business training in Murmansk. In addition to free training, all those whose applications will be selected will have the opportunity to compete for a cash grant to implement their ideas.
Over the course of five days, participants will go through the entire path of a young entrepreneur: from learning the basics to developing and presenting their own business plan. Experts of the course will teach novice businesswomen the necessary minimum: search for a niche and develop a product concept, the basics of marketing and promotion, financial and legal nuances of doing business. At the end of the training course, each participant will submit their business plan for the competition-the implementation of the best idea will be financed by the Amway Foundation "responsible for the future", allocating a grant of 100,000 rubles to the winner.
"Mama-entrepreneur" in the Murmansk region is the third year-last time Natalia Ivakhnenko won with the project "fitness Studio" Malina "in the city of Gadzhievo".
For reference:
67% of women in Russia consider starting their own business, while 88% believe that they do not have the initial financial opportunities, and 82% cannot start their own business due to lack of knowledge.
