The Mobile Learning for Entrepreneurship Skills is a research project that takes place in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. This project aims to empower women to develop their own ventures through continuous training supported by information and communication technologies. It arises because women face more difficulties to develop their businesses, in addition to being the ones that suffer most from unemployment and must face various challenges due to their role as mother, student, worker and often the head of the family.

Being a research project, it is expected that the results will help to develop a mobile learning platform that can be scaled to more people, through the link with organizations that favor its implementation and future development. It is considered that the support of women, will allow to increase the levels of employability of women and empower them to create new companies thanks to the support and the development of entrepreneurial skills. The advantages of mobile learning will make it easier for more people to access the courses, this will be facilitated by the high penetration of mobile devices in Mexico and the ease of access to broadband in the country. The collaboration with Tecnologico de Monterrey will favor access to technology for the development of teaching materials and collaboration with local government entities and civil society organizations will help to have a greater reach in the population that participates in the project. To achieve the necessary support, the scope can be thousands of people through the courses.

The project will develop a training proposal through mobile devices that are considered one of the most relevant innovations in education for the coming years. It seeks links with organizations that allow its results to be transcended and ensure that it is not only a research project in a pilot plan but that it can reach a population that has significant inequalities in terms of access to education and employment.
