COURSE OVERVIEW AND CURRICULUM

The Zero2Entrepreneur course offers a hands-on learning experience in finding and defining opportunities and creating solutions that could return high value.  Students learn the elements of entrepreneurship over multiple projects.  The goal of the course is not to launch startups but to offer students an opportunity to build the skill set and mindset required to take on projects as entrepreneurs or perform as highly productive employees.  The mindset and self-learning abilities allow students to choose career pathways in any field confidently.

Students work with different communities and learn to identify 'valuable' problems and solve them to create economic and social impact.  The course builds the necessary skills and confidence to approach a problem as an 'opportunity in disguise' and capture its value through entrepreneurship.

This course is conducted as virtual sessions.  Students will work on projects in teams and develop products and services to address problems they identify.
