WCCI provides training in entrepreneurship and leadership, and serves as a hub for burgeoning women entrepreneurs and leaders. The WCCI model, including train-the-trainer, was formed by rural women from the grassroots up. WCCI provides opportunities for women to showcase their expertise and share their knowledge and learning with other women. This creates a community model in which everyone benefits-women, children, families and the community at large. The train-the-trainer concept ensures that knowledge sharing extends beyond the classroom and that women can grow their own, enduring network of support throughout their communities. 

Together with the Climate Smart Technologies, the Center encourages entrepreneurial ventures that are sustainable for the environment--that discourage natural resource depletion such as deforestation and fossil fuel extraction, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build adaptive and resilient strategies for climate impacts.
