OUR ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM
Our courses and workshops are held one or two days a week throughout the school year (September through June), and we always select the most appropriate setting for each activity. Personal development workshops are carried out in a coaching school (Le Playground), while entrepreneurship courses are held at a business school (IESEG School of Management or ESCP) ; and creative workshops are held in an artistic spaces (Atelier Fil Rouge, Villa Belleville). This gives our activities an additional level of authenticity; and the change in environment incites the participants to adapt every time, and never to settle into habits. The IESEG School of Management and ESCP have developed a theoretical and practical curriculum specifically for our program participants. The business schools provide us with their administrative assistance, teaching by their professors and rooms for our courses. The courses provide participants with a wide range of tools for success in the professional and entrepreneurial world, such as important knowledge in marketing, financial management, value creation and business strategy.
OUR MENTORS
Mentors commit to supporting an individual participant over at least one program session (10 months) by meeting for two hours twice a month. Our volunteer mentors are recruited through different university networks (notably the networks of Harvard University in France and ESCP graduates) and professionals (from consulting firms and partner companies). Individuals interested in mentoring apply through our website and are then interviewed by Led By HER’s Board members.
E-LEARNING PLATFORM
To fight against the isolation of women in vulnerable situations in the rest of France and abroad, we provide long-distance access to the contents of entrepreneurial courses. With this platform we seek to improve access to content and entrepreneurial skills for the beneficiaries of the Led By HER program by personalizing the experiences and study arrangements of our courses and workshops to allow them to stay on target despite potential constraints. Finally, the platform aims at sharing and contributing to the collective knowledge and evolution of women entrepreneurship programs around the world, by allowing others to learn from and access a platform consolidating the entire contents of our training program.
OUR EVENTS
We also organize monthly events, to strengthen our community and promote female entrepreneurship. For example, we took part in the ESCP Entrepreneurhsip Festival lat year, we organised an event with Google and 50 Partners for the International Women’s Rights Day and we organized a 2-day hackathon in May.
