Visa and Supérate joined forces that bore fruit upon successfully completing the training for female entrepreneurs who are beneficiaries of the government’s new vision of social assistance, which seeks to promote entrepreneurship as a tool to overcome poverty and facilitate their incorporation into the labor market.
The participants accessed the online training platform “Enko / Visa”, a tool that seeks to help the micro-entrepreneur to meet their goals through the development of skills that allow their businesses to grow. Modules were taught in different areas of business entrepreneurship, sales, finance, marketing, administration and personal development.
“We are happy to make available to the beneficiaries of Supérate these initiatives that range from mentoring, educational platforms and work consultancies for the advancement and professional improvement of women entrepreneurs, not only because of how critical this program is in the country, but also because of the inspiration and growth that its hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs can have ”, commented Sofía Antor, general manager of Visa Dominican Republic.
“Now, more than ever, women are setting their own path and our increasingly firm commitment is to address the challenges they face by fostering a more inclusive and connected digital economy,” added Antor.
Gloria Reyes, general director of Supérate, highlighted that the training program with Visa “is a significant step to promote financial and digital inclusion of those families living in vulnerable situations and shows the commitment that we assume with the less favored and the need to link all the social actors to build the progress of the country ”.
Participants in the women’s initiative Super Entrepreneurs de Supérate received in addition to the online training, the donation of tablets with memories by Visa. With the support of the Visa Innovation Center in Miami, work initiatives for the development of the Supérate Social Projects Accelerator will also be expanded.
