Marking its third consecutive year in Saudi Arabia, the Henry Ford Entrepreneurship Academy makes a welcome return to the Kingdomthis month, with Riyadh\u2019s Princess Nourahbint Abdulrahman University hosting the first workshop of the year, followed in quick succession by Effat University in Jeddah a week later.<\/p>\n

As a result ofexpanding its partnerships in the Kingdom to include Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University<\/a> last year,HFEA saw an approximate 30 per cent increase over 2017 in the number of female students trained, with 32 per cent more of Ford funds spent to make the additional workshops possible.<\/p>\n

During The Entrepreneurship Journey<\/em> programme, Ford brought together the excellence of far-reaching, continent-crossing educational institutions, as the United States\u2019 Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)<\/a> and Ireland\u2019s Dublin City University (DCU) Business School<\/a> both played a major part in shaping the first Henry Ford Entrepreneurship Academy workshop held in Riyadh last year.<\/p>\n

Jeddah\u2019s Effat University<\/a> has enjoyed continued HFEA success since 2017, having launched thefirst-ever women-only The Entrepreneurship Journey<\/em> workshop in Saudi Arabia. Then, 50 women \u2013 60 per cent of whom were business industry students at Effat University, with the other 40 per cent comprised of aspiring businesswomen from Jeddah \u2013 gained a unique perspective into how to combine the theory of entrepreneurship with the application of entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

These Henry Ford Entrepreneurship Academy<\/a> workshops over the past two years have been offered to complement Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030, a government plan for economic and social reform that empowers women with the aim of increasing their numbers in the workforce. Among directives recently announced by the Kingdom include a historical decision to allow Saudi women to open their own business<\/a>* without the consent of a male guardian.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the back of its most successful year in the region to date, training close to 300 entrepreneurs across six cities in three different countries, the Henry Ford Entrepreneurship Academy is continuing to have a positive influence among some of the Kingdom\u2019s brightest business minds,\u201d said Simonetta Verdi, Director, Government and Community Relations, Ford Middle East and Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workshopsprovide a high quality and interactiveenvironment for aspiring businesspeople to experiment with their ideas in direct exchange with mentors and coaches, who offer invaluable experience,\u201d Verdi added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u201cOur workshop is designed to equip current and future entrepreneurs with a set of tools to develop their skills and acumen around entrepreneurship,\u201d said Jay Markiewicz<\/a>, executive director of Entrepreneurship Programmes at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Business, andlead architect of HFEA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workshop is built around an innovative learning Meta framework titled ‘The Entrepreneurship Journey’, from which participants emerge with increased personal capacity to be successful as entrepreneurs, as they learn how to connect with and deliver their unique value contribution,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Note to editors:<\/p>\n

The Henry Ford Entrepreneurship Academy workshops, together with the Ford Motor Company Fund and Virginia Commonwealth University, afford local future business leaders to excel in their endeavours, and influence them to think and act like entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

The Ford Motor Company Fund invests about one third of the funds in support of education, including scholarships and programmes that help schools offer students new approaches to learning. Since its launch in 2015, the Henry Ford Entrepreneurship Academy has trained close to 350 entrepreneurs across the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n

The Henry Ford Entrepreneurship Academy is part of Ford\u2019s global commitment to providing access and opportunities for women. From its Driving Skills for Life for Her<\/em> programme, to projects focussed on helping end human trafficking, as well as numerous initiatives that provide professional development and leadership training, globally Ford Fund has long supported programmes that help women succeed by overcoming social, educational and financial obstacles.<\/p>\n
