On Monday, First Lady Sandra Granger took her Self-Reliance and Success in Business Workshop for women to Region 3.
According to a press release from the Ministry of the Presidency, the women will be trained in the principles of successful business start-ups and the development of business plans. On completion of the training programme, they will be presented with certificates, recognised by the Small Business Bureau.
Speaking at the opening ceremony held at the Regional Office Boardroom in Vreed-en-Hoop, Mrs Granger said that women often put themselves down by internalising the belief that they have no knowledge of business or that they are not gainfully employed, when in fact their daily routines are comparative to the skills required to run a business, the release said.
