In 2010 KAGIDER launched the "Women Leaders of the Future" project to train young women who are university graduates or senior students to prepare them for the norms, requirements and general environment of business life. In addition, this program seeks to instill an entrepreneurial spirit and encourage civic activism.

The “Women Leaders of the Future” training program is a four day training consisting of preparing your CV, basic transferable skills, interview simulation and basic information about different business sectors. From 2010 to 2015, from almost 9000 applications 388 young women between the ages of 21 and 25 received the training program.
