3 Solomon Islanders are participating in the United Kingdom Trade Partnerships (UKTP) Pacific Women Export Leadership workshop in Apia, Samoa this week. They are Cathliro's Diana Yates, Solomon Indulgence's Ruby Lee and Solomon Islands Women in Business Association Wisdom Enterprises' Rachel Rahii.
The workshop supports dynamic women in senior leadership positions in private companies, particularly small and medium enterprises, that are exporting or aiming to export products internationally.
The workshop will help female business leaders across the Pacific to drive exports to the next level in highly competitive and advanced markets. It will provide top-tier mentoring, facilitate peer to peer learning, and drive business collaborations that position participants for high-profile trade opportunities.
The workshop will prepare participants to confidently and knowledgeably confront the key challenges to export and to build company success. Sessions will cover confidence in export finance, unlocking brand potential, working with advanced retailers and maximising value.
The 3-day workshop is a partnership between the International Trade Centre and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
