The Brilliant Woman program is “an opportunity for learning, exchange, reinvention, integration and economic independence for migrant women who have not yet been able to enter the labor market or who decide to dedicate themselves to entrepreneurship and be self-employed.”
The non-governmental organization Alliance for Venezuela graduated more than 70 Venezuelan migrants in the eighth edition of its “Brilliant Woman” program, which provides training to start or professionalize ventures with the aim of promoting the empowerment and economic autonomy of women.
For eight weeks and more than 16 classes, more than 70 migrant women from Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and the Dominican Republic acquired skills in Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurial Development, developed their business model and a digital marketing plan.
Liset Luque, general secretary of Alianza por Venezuela, explained that the Brilliant Woman program is “an opportunity for learning, exchange, reinvention, integration and economic independence for women who have not yet been able to enter the labor market or who decide to dedicate themselves to entrepreneurship and be autonomous.
In its eight editions, the Brilliant Woman program has graduated nearly 600 women in training sessions for their economic development and as entrepreneurs.
«This space gave us a large amount of experiences, knowledge and, above all, inspiration. I learned a lot, everything step by step to be able to start my own business and empower myself,” said Glevis Ledezma, one of the program’s graduates.
«I found the course excellent. It took me experience and learning to carry out my venture, because I had the idea, but I didn’t know how to make it happen. And this gave me tools to continue and specialize,” said another of the beneficiaries.
«This course motivated me a lot for my entrepreneurship. The marketing course gave me a lot of tools,” said Sandibel, another of the women who completed the training program.
The delivery of the certificates took place at the headquarters of the Caece University, in Buenos Aires, and was attended by its rector, Dr. Paulo Falcón, and representatives of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Undersecretariat of the Woman of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.
During the event, the work of migrant women social leaders was also recognized, whose work has had a great impact on the professional development of Migrant Women, such as Dr. Indira Acosta, president of the Association of Venezuelan Doctors in Argentina (Asomevenar ), and Luisa Carvajal, president of the Association of Venezuelan Teachers in Argentina (Creeducación).
