The main challenge for this new edition was to build on the results achieved during the 2025 pilot phase and turn the lessons learned into an even stronger training experience for 2026.After certifying 412 women entrepreneurs across the region — including 131 in Costa Rica — the challenge was to expand the program's reach, strengthen the learning experience, and ensure greater participant retention and successful program completion.This led to the evolution of the program model into a structure featuring five practical and theoretical workshops, ongoing support, and flexible mechanisms for participants to catch up on missed training content.

The solution is built around a mentoring methodology that complements technical training with closer, personalized support, recognizing that every woman entrepreneur faces unique challenges and opportunities.Through individual mentoring sessions, participants receive guidance on applying the knowledge they have gained to their own businesses, strengthening their decision-making skills, and identifying concrete actions to support their growth.In this way, mentoring bridges the gap between theory and practice, helping transform the training experience into practical capabilities that strengthen business resilience, development, and long-term sustainability.
