WEConnect International in Latin America: Helping Women Entrepreneurs to Tap into the Global Supply Chain (in Spanish)

WEConnect International en América Latina: Ayudando a las mujeres empresarias a integrarse a la cadena de suministro global

WEConnect International  ayuda a las mujeres propietarias de empresas a ser exitosas en las cadenas de valor globales, identificando, capacitando, registrando y certificando a las empresas y negocios de mujeres que se localicen fuera de los Estados Unidos y en las que al menos el 51% de la propiedad pertenezca a una mujer y sea, en la misma medida, administrada y controlada por una o más mujeres. WEConnect International las conecta con las oportunidades para que ellas puedan tener acceso a relaciones de negocios, capacitación y educación que les permitirá ingresar a las cadenas de suministro de corporaciones multinacionales. Este seminario vía internet enfatizará la labor de WEConnect International en Perú y en México así como las oportunidades que existen para las mujeres empresarias, a través de la red de WEConnect.
