June 30 deadline for application into AWE program in TS, AP and Odisha
HYDERABAD: Deadline for applications to the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs Program (AWE) will close on June 30. Despite the high demand, a few spaces are still available, and interesting applicants are asked to apply soon at https://awe.kiitincubator.in.
AWE is a multi-month program designed to provide female entrepreneurs with the skills they need to formalize and grow their businesses. It combines the online learning platform Dream Builder with localised in-class discussion, mentoring, and engagement with local business leaders and U.S. experts.
The AWE program in Telangana, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh will be implemented by the Kalinga Institute of Information Technology, Technology Business Incubators (KIIT-TBI) in cooperation with the U.S. Consulate General in Hyderabad, and it will be funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of State.
A total of 100 aspiring women entrepreneurs in four cities – Warangal, Bhubaneshwar, Vishakhapatnam, and Tirupati – will be given training in the AWE program. Each location will have the capacity for 25 participants, and classes and programs will take place both online and in-person. Participants must reside in or near Warangal, Bhubaneshwar, Vishakhapatnam, or Tirupati to participate.
Applicants must be women between the ages of 18-50 with basic business experience or a credible business idea in mind. Intermediate or better English is required, as the Dream Builder curriculum is only in English.
KIIT-TBI will conduct online information sessions to share more information about the program and how to apply. The registration form for information sessions can be found online: https://forms.gle/zqSFnhZ6veNq7JQV7.
Interested applicants are encouraged to participate in the remaining online information sessions to be held on June 27, in Telangana and June 30 in Andhra Pradesh.
