Excellence in Entrepreneurship
We aim to support the entrepreneurial ecosystem and foster a supportive learning environment where participants gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to build thriving businesses. We will do so by focusing on excellence, culture for all within the cohorts, community awareness, aligned and relevant learning and development, and a laser focus on the content and delivery’s input, output, and outcomes. The final deliverable for this course will be a thoroughly prepared and executable Lean Business Canvas (LBC).
Course Objectives
Students will have a practical understanding of the components of running a business through modules specifically designed to sharpen skills associated with running a small business. Students will also undertake extensive mindset training to create a solid foundation in understanding the ancillary aspects of being an entrepreneur.
