Women’s Entrepreneurship and Leadership Program (WEL)

Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women Entrepreneurship and Leadership Center

For women who dare to dream

In 2008, the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. announced 10,000 Women, a global initiative that will provide 10,000 underserved women with a business and management education. The American University in Cairo is one of the partnering universities in the initiative, working with The Wharton School of Business of the University of Pennsylvania to create the Women’s Entrepreneurship and Leadership Program (WEL), a business and management certificate program specifically for women in Egypt and the region. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is the official sponsor for the leadership program. AMIDEAST is administrating the program in the Middle East.
