Ranked #1 in the World
Twenty women entrepreneurs from Jordan began their SEEDS program at Thunderbird yesterday. The program (which stands for “Supporting Entrepreneurs and Enterprise Development Seminar”) is conducted in partnership with Jordan’s BDC and with funding from the US Government (USAID). Since 2004, Thunderbird has made women entrepreneurship development a priority, as we believe that empowering women to create and grow businesses is one of the most effective ways to drive economic and human development.
Our programs have already reached hundreds of women in Afghanistan (thanks to funding from USAID, the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women initiative and a host of private donors) and will very soon reach several hundred more in Peru, through an ambitious project funded by Goldman Sachs, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Australian Government.

So happy for my country ladies
I was of the Jo-Birds who went to the states on January, and received a certificate of global studies from Thunderbird. I always wish to go back someday.
T-bird is the most respectful place, and I am sure those ladies will come back home with great memories, new skills and even more enthusiasm to do their job. happy for them and would love to meet them soon
