Thunderbird School of Global Management is contributing its expertise and in-kind donations to the “Strengthening Women Entrepreneurship in Peru” project which provides training to women micro- and small entrepreneurs throughout Peru. Managed by Thunderbird for Good, Thunderbird is collaborating with the Multilateral
Investment Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (MIF/IDB), Goldman
Sachs, Mibanco, Universidad del Pacifíco, and the Australian Government to bring business education and access to capital to thousands of women.Thunderbird’s component of the project is called Proyecto SALTA.
Salta is a three hour seminar-based business training created specifically for women micro-entrepreneurs in Peru. The word salta in Spanish means to “make a jump,” which is exactly what Thunderbird is hoping to help the women they train do.
The Salta business training was created by Dr. Christine Pearson and Dr. Beth Cabrera from Thunderberd in collaboration with Giancarlo Cafferata and Miriam Vasquez, trainers for Aprenda, Latin America’s leading company for business entrepreneur’s education and training.
One of the most innovative tools Thunderbird has incorparated into the SALTA training is a telenovella to help reinforce the teaching concepts. To view the trailer of “El Gran Salto,” click: .
On June 21, 2010, Thunderbird’s first SALTA training was launched in Lima and Cafferata and Vasquez from Aprenda trained over 2,000 women during that first week. The project is off to a great start, and all early indicators show that this training has the potential to not only create a huge impact in Peru, but in other Latin American countries as well.
