Around 180 female entrepreneurs have also been recruited as role models, sharing their own experiences about their own self-employment. Part of the initiative included numerous visits to schools, universities, and training institutions, offering internships, and participating in events organized by chambers of commerce, trade fairs, and economic development agencies. The entrepreneurs have also developed new, innovative formats, reaching numerous women and girls interested in starting their own businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Federal Minister for Economic Affairs <strong>Sigmar Gabriel<\/strong> commented on the extension of the initiative as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&quot;The commitment of these exemplary female entrepreneurs is impressive. As role models, they make an active and important contribution to fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship in Germany. Too few women still choose to become self-employed; only one in three companies is founded by a woman. To inspire more girls and women to pursue entrepreneurship, we are extending our successful &#039;WOMEN in business&#039; initiative. Role models are the best way to convey the great opportunities and scope for shaping the future of women.&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Career aspiration: Entrepreneur?
