Connect to Success - program sponsored by the U.S. Embassy Lisbon




Connect to Success is a program sponsored by the U.S. Embassy Lisbon, which aims to support the growth of women-owned businesses (WOBs) in Portugal.
The initiative is composed of corporate mentoring, real-time MBA consulting projects and business oriented workshops.
The corporate mentoring program has been designed to provide participating female business owners with valuable insight to assist them in accelerating the growth potential of their enterprises. The project will match female business owners with a team of corporate mentors, made up of executives with varied skill sets. Through a year-long program, which typically entails two-hours of mentorship each month, Portuguese women will boost their economic growth potential while simultaneously expanding a corporation's strategic insight and business base.
The MBA consulting program is a dynamic way to engage Portugal's youth while simultaneously offering WOBs an opportunity to get a specific business challenge addressed by teams of MBA and Masters students over the duration of a semester.
The practical workshops will focus on developing the tangible business skills necessary for WBOs to maximize their growth potential. Subjects will be wide-ranging and include topics such as marketing and social media, competitive intelligence, basic accounting and operational management.
