Čurug, October 30, 2024 – A free eight-week training programme “Better Business through Data” has started today in Čurug, with the aim to provide support to female entrepreneurs who wish to acquire new digital skills to improve their business operations. The training is organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Serbia, in partnership with the Office for IT and eGovernment and the female entrepreneurs' association “She is Hard-Working” (Ona je vredna), with the support from the Government of the United Kingdom.
