United Energy Egypt, in collaboration with the School of Continuing Education at the American University in Cairo (AUC), hosted the graduation ceremony of the “She Can” program, celebrating the incredible achievements of 50 outstanding women entrepreneurs.
The SHE CAN Scholarship provides opportunities for 50 qualified candidates in Cairo and Alexandria, and is a 60-hour program that equips women entrepreneurs with practical skills to effectively manage, lead and scale their microenterprises. Through comprehensive training and mentorship, participants will apply the program content to their existing startups and develop action plans for implementation. The curriculum covers a range of entrepreneurship topics, including business modeling, planning, management, marketing, product costing, pricing, hiring, talent development, startup growth and market analysis.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, Yasmin Ali, Senior Manager Corporate Affairs at United Energy Egypt, shared her perspective with the participants: “We at United Energy Egypt are extremely proud to sponsor SHE CAN for the second year in a row. This program offers a unique opportunity to bring not only academia but also businesses to the next level of engagement and investment. Witnessing the passion and potential of these entrepreneurs underscores our belief in the transformative power of education and community support.”
Kamel Al Sawi, President of United Energy Egypt, expressed his enthusiastic support for the programme: “Since the launch of the first round in 2022, graduates of the ‘She Can’ programme have continually impressed us with their innovation and dedication. We are committed to continuing to support the education and upskilling of entrepreneurs and look forward to witnessing the incredible contributions they will make in the coming years.”
