Female Entrepreneurs Mentoring Clinic

Cork Chamber are delighted to welcome Paula Fitzsimons to speak at an event organised as part of the Chamber's Female Mentoring project.  Paula will be addressing the issues around whether Irish women have untapped entrepreneurial potential, referencing the findings of the recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2011 report, and highlighting the supports available for female entrepreneurs through programmes such as Going for Growth. The event will also offer early-stage female entrepreneurs the opportunity to arrange a short one-to-one meeting with a mentor, in order to ask advice on a specific aspect of their business. For more information or to register your interest in this event, contact: Katherine@corkchamber.ie
