The world’s largest investment bank, Goldman Sachs Group, is launching a $100 million (US) global initiative to teach business and management skills to 10,000 women.

The initiative specifically plans to target women in the Middle East, Asia and Africa who might have little or no opportunity to pursue such an education. The program links major U.S. and foreign universities together to teach the curriculum — which can span five weeks to nine months.
