Goldman Sachs Group, the international investment banking company, has launched a new program to provide ten thousand poor women with business education. The program, called 10,000 Women, will support partnerships between American and European universities and business schools in mostly developing countries. Partners will work together to establish or expand education programs lasting from five weeks to six months. Several partnerships may also offer full college degrees in business.
国际投资银行Goldman Sachs集团启动了一个新项目,为1万名贫困妇女提供商业教育。这个叫做“10000名妇女”的项目将会支持美国和欧洲大学和在最不发达国家的商业学校之间的合作。合作者将会一起为建立或扩展历时5个星期到6个月的教育项目而工作。若干合作者可能还提供正式大学的商学学位。
The 10,000 Women program hopes to expand into the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and throughout Africa. Sixteen schools have agreed to take part in the program so far. They include Columbia, Harvard and Stanford Universities in the United States. Other schools are in India, Rwanda, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania.
