Our Stories
The IWMS Mentorship Program offers a short eight-week mentorship experience, bringing together members of the community, and artists and makers who are engaged in their entrepreneurial journeys. IWMS is so pleased to partner with DIVERSEcity’s CWB Business Incubator for Women Entrepreneurs, a 20-week program that aims to develop the entrepreneurial skills of women with creative skills and ideas, and to build peer networks among women entrepreneurs. To build these peer networks, DIVERSEcity’s CWB Business Incubator program has created a collective business community called Infinity Womenpreneurs, where participants of the program can come together to showcase and promote their products.
IWMS is thrilled to offer mentorship opportunities in collaboration with CWB Business Incubator for Women Entrepreneurs. Through our mentorship program, we support women who are courageously moving their creative and entrepreneurial pursuits forward in new directions.
