Amanda Rose Instagram – On Friday @smallbusinesswomenaustralia celebrated the completion of our 4-week @futurenotfollowers program for high school girls in the Dubbo region with a graduation held at CWA Trangie. To introduce the day, students heard from businesswoman and CWA Trangie Branch Secretary Amanda Ferrari.
Students from Trangie Central School and Narromine HS participated in a day focused on confidence-building and entrepreneurial skills, as part of a comprehensive program teaching financial literacy skills to high school girls.
Facilitating real-world learning, Tiz Porreca (@amongst_marketing®) hosted a panel with local businesswomen Peta Simpson (P.S. Websites Design), Lottie Ray (The Studio Trangie) and Madeline Williams (Snaps by Madds), who shared candidly about their business journey and what they’ve learned along the way.
Feedback showed that all the students are now more interested in learning how to manage their goals, careers and finances after completing the program. As quoted by one student “I am so excited to learn more about how I can have control over my finances, and my own business in the future, and to really get it up and running! FNF taught me some really insightful tips for everyday life, and I’m ready to look into it more now that I know both the basics and specific tools to support me.”
Each student was presented with a graduation certificate to mark the completion of the program. Congratulations to these future leaders!
Thank you to the NSW Government for supporting this program. The Future Not Followers program was developed by yours truly with funding from the NSW Government, and the pilot program was generated from Women NSW’s Council for Women’s Economic Opportunity (CWEO).
