The aim of the Mentoring Women in Business Programme in Malaysia is simple but effective: arm a cohort of ambitious women entrepreneurs with the technology and skills they need to grow their businesses, match each woman with an individual mentor from another country to provide support with key business and professional development objectives over the course of a year, and provide her with access to a global community of entrepreneurs and professionals who share knowledge and support one another.
The women are able to access a huge host of resources and networking opportunities via a bespoke web platform, which supports a growing global community of over 4,000 mentees and mentors. Prior to starting their mentoring relationships, the Malaysian mentees receive ICT, English and business training to ensure they develop the skills and confidence to make the most out of their mentoring relationships. The women are also given tablets powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon™, in addition to Internet connectivity via a Tune Talk data plan.
Both mentoring and technology have been extolled as powerful tools for women’s empowerment in their own right within development circles. By combining them together we are widening the possibilities for growth and success for women entrepreneurs in Malaysia, and beyond.
