Course Description
Entrepreneurship is not just for those who want to start companies, it is for anyone who wants to stay two steps ahead in a world of constant change. In fact, there is little choice: those who don’t move forward risk falling behind. Success in today’s work life requires entrepreneurial skills, both in managing your own career and in the work itself.
This is an active, hands-on course that will immerse you in an entrepreneurial mindset, taking you out of your comfort zone. However, no prior experience or entrepreneurial inclination is required. You will discover and develop your entrepreneurial side, gain tools, knowledge, and skills, and identify within yourself capabilities and opportunities for the future.
