Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
FTW (For the Women) Foundation (www.ftwfoundation.org) is a Philippine non-profit that up-skills deserving Filipinas through FREE training scholarships in tech. Our Data training program consists of 12-14 weeks of intensive tech training giving select women a headstart and the confidence to compete in this industry. FTW graduates on average are able to more than double their earnings after our short but impactful program. More than just the training, FTW also provides a support system to develop strong, resilient and gritty women that thrive wherever they go.
