The workshop, conducted at the
Golda Meir Mount Carmel International Training Center (MCTC), aimed at contributing to women’s empowerment by exploring aspects of entrepreneurship as a contributor to income generation and employment. The participants were exposed to the various aspects of planning, development and management of small businesses to acquire necessary skills to facilitate the initiation, organization and management of small businesses in their home countries effectively and profitably.
