The Entrepreneurship Educator Development Course will empower you to deliver high quality entrepreneurship education at your institution.

India’s rapid economic growth and integration into the global economy has led to the creation of several attractive entrepreneurial opportunities. The effective exploitation of such opportunities by Indian entrepreneurs who have been successful in the global arena has inspired many students in professional programmes to consider entrepreneurship as a career option. The result is an increasing demand for quality entrepreneurship education at Indian management and technology institutions. The Entrepreneurship Educator Development Course empowers educators to meet this new challenge.

The course will enable educators to develop the capabilities needed to design and deliver a contemporary entrepreneurship curriculum. It will also help participants develop the skills needed to mentor start-up teams and to support young ventures through consultancy assignments.

The programme is brought to you by the Wadhwani Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (WCED) at the ISB, in cooperation with the Wadhwani Foundation and the National Entrepreneurship Network.
