Apprenticeship2Entrepreneurship is a program primarily designed to support women. Unfortunately, women in many parts of the world face higher rates of unemployment and lack of skills when compared to men. This is often due to factors such as gender discrimination, limited access to education and training opportunities, and unequal employment opportunities.
