Premise
Entrepreneurs are the creators of ideas and ventures that generate the nation’s wealth, taking risks that others won't. Can Educators play this role too, or are they relegated to a life of toiling away in a classroom? Join our Learning Circle to establish and develop your scalable edtech learning brand.
Description
Entrepreneurs are the driving force behind economic growth, job creation, and innovation in our community. This Program is specifically designed for an EDUCATOR to launch an EDTECH Startup. You are guided step-by-step, transforming yourself into an entrepreneur from a traditional classroom-based or an online educator.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
The major advantages of entrepreneurship include the potential for financial success, career independence, personal growth, and the ability to pursue innovative ideas. This importance of entrepreneurship breaks from tradition and reduces dependence on outdated systems by providing unique products and services. This will lead to an improved quality of life, improved behavior, and greater freedom.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT vs WOMEN-LED EMPOWERMENT
OECD says “Women remain under-represented as entrepreneurs. When asked, fewer women than men say they would prefer to be self-employed. When they do choose to become entrepreneurs, they cite better work-life balance as the main motivation for starting a business.”
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
You have successfully garnered needed support from family members, friends and colleagues to embark on this new journey.
NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Innovation and entrepreneurship are key aspects of economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability in the 21st century.
