Pacific women are being called to register for an Auckland workshop aimed at helping them unleash their business potential.
The Pacific Cooperation Foundation (PCF), along with MENA Director and MP Fonoti Agnes Loheni, will host the Pacific Women in Business workshop on Monday 21 September, bringing together participants who are at the start of their enterprise journey.
The workshop is open to any Pacific woman and will cover sessions on building a reputation through social media, setting up an e-commerce platform and knowing their currency as a businesswoman. Presenters for the sessions include online entrepreneur Hana Schmidt and social media specialist Mary Aue.
PCF Chair Fiso John Fiso and Ms. Loheni say the session topics are relevant and timely,
giving participants the confidence to utilise digital tools and develop their online presence.
“PCF is committed to seeing Pacific women achieve access to international markets, and opportunity to work towards their aspirations in the business and entrepreneurship sectors,” Mr. Fiso said.
Ms. Loheni says the workshop is not only an opportunity for participants to tap into their
entrepreneurial capabilities, but hopes that they will come away feeling empowered.
“We women underestimate our economic power,” Ms. Loheni says.
“The decisions we make within our families and communities drives our economy. Now we are going
to drive business. It’s time we Pacific women unleash our business potential.”
To register, email Cathryn Laban [email protected] before Thursday 10 September.
