Becoming An Entrepreneur

This practical course equips students with the skills necessary to realize their entrepreneurial visions. Students will learn about the entrepreneurial process, from the preliminary stages of research, to the legalities of setting up, as well as financials and marketing. Students will be introduced to the different types of enterprises, for profit and nonprofit, as well as social entrepreneurship. Through real examples, the course takes a closer look at common pitfalls, and stories of successes within the business world. 

Class time is divided between interactive lecture and guided hands-on work. Students will be expected to develop a business idea over the duration of the course, culminating in a final presentation and the submission of a business plan proposal. 

Participants are required to bring laptops for this class and should have an entrepreneurial idea in mind that they would like to develop during the duration of the course.
