Kelowna, BC – The Women’s Enterprise Centre of British Columbia (WeBC) has recently reported a significant rise in the number of women seeking business advisory services. This increase has been observed in the Kelowna region, where more and more women are turning to WeBC for support and guidance in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
According to WeBC, the number of women seeking business advisory services has increased by 25% in the past year. This is a promising trend, as it indicates a growing interest and participation of women in the business world. WeBC CEO, Jill Earthy, believes that this rise is a result of the organization’s efforts to promote and support women entrepreneurs.
“We are thrilled to see more women seeking our services and taking charge of their business ventures,” said Earthy. “Our goal at WeBC is to empower women to succeed in the business world, and this increase in demand for our services is a testament to our mission.”
