200 women to join U.S Consulate training

The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos has partnered with Ascend Studios Foundation to open the 2022 application for the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE).

The AWE is a U.S. Government initiative set up to empower female entrepreneurs all over the world.

A total number of 200 participants will be selected from the 17 southern states for the 2022 cohort.

To aid the comprehensive rehabilitation and reintegration of returned migrants, 50 female returnees will also partake in the programme.

CEO of Ascend Studios Foundation, Dr Inya Lawal, appreciated the U.S. Consulate in Nigeria for the initiative.

She said: “This is another great opportunity for women to participate in the economic and leadership space and we encourage many female entrepreneurs to apply for the program.

“This programme is a game-changer for business owners. We have seen exponential growth in the businesses of our alumni, and we look forward to welcoming successful applicants this year.”

She said the application link – http://bit.ly/AWENIGERIA2022 – for interested female entrepreneurs to apply is now open and will close on April 7.
