TRAINING METHODS AND TOOLS
Our method differs from “classic” entrepreneurship courses, as we offer young students a unique blend of education, fun, interactive, hands-on experiential workshops that you can’t find anywhere else, focusing on strengthening their entrepreneurial mindset and creativity.
Students learn what it means to extend their interests and passions outside the classroom as they solve real-world problems.
We will teach students the fundamental tools and experience they need to start their own business and to succeed in the implementation of any kind of project.
We will provide them the skillset they need to become true innovators and leaders of their generation.
We also believe that mentorship is critical to teach and train the next generation of entrepreneurs. That’s why we only work with “pracademics “ (combination of “practical” and “academic”), experienced entrepreneurs with teaching ability for our programs. These mentors offer career and academic guidance and advice, as well as networking opportunities.
