Western Entrepreneurship
These are unprecedented times. Around the world, millions of lives, and livelihoods, have been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
While our healthcare workers are battling on the frontlines, the rest of us can play an integral role in restarting our economy, creating jobs, and future-proofing our careers.
Tried and tested over the last decade, “Master the Entrepreneur Skillset” was being offered free (all tuition and fees waived) for a limited time for Western alumni, students, faculty and staff.
Time Required
Our programs are expressly designed to fit the lives of insanely busy professionals. We took students from idea to investable business in just a few hours per week, over six weeks.
Blended Learning
Students got lifelong access to our exclusive Online Learning Environment and found all our up-to-date course materials at any given time.
Always-On Experience
It was a hybrid experience with no expensive tuition or material fees. We provided 24/7 support through an exclusive Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Action Plans
We assited teams develop personal, actionable plans to address the strategy, organization, and innovation-based opportunities that they face.
Pitch Perfect
We helped students master their pitches through constant interaction and helpful feedback.
Certificate of Completion
Stduents recieved a certificate of completion upon graduation and joined our growing community of alumni on LinkedIn.
The ‘Master the Entrepreneur Skillset’ program was an online experience designed to introduce the tools and mindset required to succeed as an entrepreneur.
You did not need an idea, or a pre-existing team, to join the 6-week program. Just an open mind, and a willingness to learn and explore your full potential.
The program was broken into 12 modules over six weeks. New modules were released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Each timed module consisted of a video lecture, and a set of important questions that need to be answered.
Additional learning were provided for each module, from online content to ‘Ask an expert’ style webinars from our faculty and alumni entrepreneurs.
"The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp provided me with an excellent blueprint for putting together a cohesive business plan for a startup. Ash is very insightful and inspired us to view entrepreneurship as a feasible career."
Niko Virvilis, MSc '19
"I never had to learn so much in such a short period of time. I gained practical insights into fields that entrepreneurship courses that I've already done didn't cover."
Philipp Ladner, Exchange Student from University of St. Gallen
