Train-the-Trainer Opportunities - Open to All

IMPACTA partner organisations are holding train-the-trainer sessions this autumn. These are free workshops open to coaches, mentors, trainers, facilitators and other business-development professionals who work, or are interested in working, with women entrepreneurs and business angels.

Each partner is organising its own session, in its own country and language, but the sessions share a common purpose: preparing participants to pass on practical, gender-aware tools for supporting women at different stages: from shaping a first business idea to growing an existing one or engaging with investment.

Below is an overview of the sessions confirmed so far.
