WEMA Bank is supporting women entrepreneurs across the country with free virtual training sessions on business growth and sustainability. The first of these sessions focused on helping professionals and businesswomen “restructure their business, career and finances for the future”.
A virtual webinar tagged ‘Juggling Home Schooling and Work,’ was designed to cater to the women with children, who were working from home amid the pandemic. In partnership with Wise Planner Consulting, Wema selected women through a competition on its Instagram page @sarabywema and other online platforms for a webinar themed “Business Growth”.
To help women with online stores generate more sales on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, Sara by Wema partnered Divigate360 for the “Boost With Facebook” event. The three-day training had over 200 participants via Zoom. Divided into two daily sessions, the webinar enlightened female entrepreneurs on how the digital space could affect their business positively and how to use Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram to grow their business.
Folake Sanu, executive director, business support, Wema Bank, said: “In times like this, growing your business may seem difficult, however, consistency, restructuring, and re-strategising your business are ways to thrive as an entrepreneur.”
Sara by Wema has also organised training for several women associations. It plans to ensure that women are equipped with skills to help them thrive in their endeavours.
