The WIDB Programme

A live cohort built around your business, not a classroom

The Women in Digital Business (WIDB) programme helps women entrepreneurs build the skills to run their business online — from finding customers to managing orders and understanding their numbers. Developed by the ILO, ITC, and Microsoft, it combines live sessions with practical exercises you apply directly to your own business.

Foundations + Learning Paths

WIDB covers the core skills every woman entrepreneur needs to run her business online — plus optional learning paths so you can go deeper in the areas most relevant to you.

Blended Learning Experience

  • Live online training sessions and webinars
  • Self-guided eLearning units at your own pace
  • Individual coaching to apply learning to your business

Your Outcome

By the end of the programme, you'll have a written action plan — specific to your business — for exactly what to do next to move your business online and start getting results.

This is for you if...

  • You run a business or are preparing to launch within the next 3 months
  • You want more than a social media page: a simple system for customers, sales, orders, payments, and follow-up
  • You can attend live sessions and complete short exercises during the week
  • You want a practical action plan, not just inspiration

This is not the best fit if...

  • You only want passive videos and do not want to participate live
  • You are not ready to test digital tools in your own business
  • You cannot set aside time for the live sessions and short assignments
  • You want someone else to build everything for you without your input
