BUSINESS WIRE--Mar. 05, 2008
10,000 Underserved Women Around the World Will Receive a Business and
Management Education
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS):
What:
Increasing the entrepreneurial talent and managerial pool in
developing and emerging economies - especially among women - is one
of the most important means to reducing inequality and ensuring more
shared economic growth. Goldman Sachs today announced 10,000 Women,
a global corporate engagement initiative to deliver a business and
management education to 10,000 underserved women around the world.
Through partnerships between universities in the U.S. and Europe
(see below) and business schools in emerging and developing
countries, 10,000 Women also will seek to have a lasting impact on
the quality and capacity of business education in developing regions
around the world.
10,000 Women was inspired by economic research from Goldman Sachs
that showed the powerful effects of greater labor force
participation of women on economies and societies. The company will
commit $100 million to this initiative over the next five years and
its people will contribute their time and expertise through
classroom instruction and mentoring. 10,000 Women will work with
development organizations to better understand the local challenges
girls and young women must overcome so more of them can realize
economic opportunity and achieve their full potential. Many of these
partnerships will seek to establish mentoring and networking
channels for women and encourage career development opportunities.
