Program Manager @ The Artemis Entrepreneurship Program
2015 - 2016
The ARTEMIS program is fully dedicated to the goal of adding value and purpose to its participants. ARTEMIS was “born and raised” in the Entrepreneurial environment, and therefore it is only natural that it is an entrepreneurship program. ARTEMIS is a first of its kind concept, which focuses on women’s entrepreneurship and leadership. The program was established for young female entrepreneurs that are students in the IDC. It is an extra-curriculum program, which is a part of the IDC Entrepreneurship Club, and operates within it. The program will accept between 20-30 students on each semester. ARTEMIS aims to spot all gifted young ladies and provide them with the knowledge, tools and confidence, in order for them to pursue their ventures. Our program’s main feature, which is also its exclusiveness, is that it is an ACTIVE program. We believe that in order for a participant to reach its goals and live to her full potential, she is obligated to take full responsibility both for herself and for the process she is going through in the program. “Success begins by taking Responsibility” - Is one of our beliefs. ARTEMIS was built upon the following core values: Responsibility — Leadership — Entrepreneurship We believe in deeds, not words, and that is exactly the participant’s profile we are looking for.
