The Introduction to Entrepreneurship introduces students to the methodologies used in startups globally. Students will rapidly learn through practical workshop activities the entrepreneurial mindset, ideation, MVP, prototyping, customer discovery, how to test their business idea, branding and pitching. By the end of the program students will have experienced a complete cycle of how to test a ‘business idea’ which will enable them to either iterate or pivot.
This program enables students to explore how entrepreneurship can complement their passions, interests, and everyday frustrations to identify business opportunities now or in the future.
Funded by the Victorian Government’s Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series, this is a FREE 2-day intensive workshop for students to get their startup started.
