EFE-Jordan implemented the U.S. Embassy funded “Professional Exchange Program” in which five women graduates of an advanced entrepreneurship training traveled to the United States for one week.

The Exchange Program included several activities with the goal of upskilling the entrepreneurs and growing their projects through meetings with American female entrepreneurs to discuss their projects and exchange expertise. In addition to their attendance at mentoring sessions and their meeting with the Education For Employment Foundation team in Washington, D.C., the exchange program concluded with the distribution of certificates to women entrepreneurs.

The participants also met with Her Excellency Ambassador of Jordan to the United States Dina Kawar in Washington, D.C. to discuss the benefits of promoting the development of small projects and investing in building entrepreneurial capacities in Jordan and the United States of America.

The exchange program was part of the Women’s Empowerment through Entrepreneurship (WEE) project implemented by EFE-Jordan, in collaboration with International Strategic Management, Inc. (ISM), EFE-Global, and funded by the U.S. Embassy Amman.
