At the start of 2022, TFSA and Future Females rolled out the Export Trade Training Programme to Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa with coaches from TFSA Women in Trade partner organisations. This first regional course saw an amazing 116 women entrepreneurs across the six countries graduate after an 9-week course that has provided them with a roadmap to export success through an accelerator bootcamp, eight actionable modules, 1:1 mentorship with expert mentors, weekly group coaching, and access to Future Females community forums and networking events.
The multimedia training provides insights into the current global trading environment, the ability to assess the export readiness of your company and core knowledge about export, necessary for success in exporting.

“The eight weeks with TFSA have been an eye opener on establishing whether my business is export ready, from learning about Incoterms to risks associated with exporting and how to mitigate these risks. I mostly enjoyed that the content was relatable, and I look forward to taking advantage and putting into practice all the knowledge I have gained.”
