The Women's Organisation

The Women's Organisation (formally Train 2000) is committed to encouraging improvements in women's enterprise support services and therefore acts as on going policy influencer at a regional, national and European level.

Our Approach is to:

• Provide leadership and vision in the sustainability of gender specific support infrastructure
• Undertake research to provide a strong evidence base regarding gender specific models.
• Highlight the issues in terms of mainstream enterprise service design, accessibility, gender sensitivity, and diversity profiles.
• Raise standards and quality of levels of service provision for entrepreneurial women
• Share the success stories of sustainable women's enterprises, promoting the positive economic impact of women owned businesses
• Build strategic partnerships to raise awareness
• Support the creation of social enterprises as an entrepreneurial option for women.

Our Delivery

The Women's Organisation (formally Train 2000) influences policy by gathering information, highlighting issues and identifying evidence based solutions to disseminate appropriately, sharing Best Practice both nationally and internationally.

We achieve this by representing our view on women's economic development issues through, in particular, producing policy documents and responding to policy consultation, participating in policy think tanks, conferences, seminars and exhibitions.
