Entrepreneurship Development Course
WHAT THIS COURSE IS
This is a four week full-time training programme for motivated entrepreneurs willing and able to fully participate.
Over the first week, our facilitators will train you:
1. How to find solutions to difficult problems.
2. How to collaborate with teammates to get your solutions done.
3. How to find the unique purpose that motivates you to succeed.
4. To understand the theory of the learning curve.
Over the following 3 weeks, we will practice our skills on real projects to get up the learning curve and consolidate our skills. These projects will be chosen by you, the participants, with help from our facilitators. The projects must be:
1. Achievable in 3 weeks.
2. Meaningful to you.
3. Of benefit to the community.
Whilst the course is free financially, you must be prepared to pay for the course with your full participation and hard work.
