iEntrepreneur project
The iEntreprenur project was delivered at the Sydney School of Entrepreneurship during terms 2 and 3 by Generation Entrepreneur. The project aimed to implement entrepreneurial learning in NSW public schools. School teams were selected through an Expression of Interest.
The program delivered six workshops over three months and concluded with a demonstration evening. Students were encouraged to develop a social enterprise idea. They found the program challenging but were surprised that it enabled them to deliver credible and valued business concepts. This was enabled through the support of their mentors, the content of the workshops and their ability to use the expertise in their team.
Student teams experienced the benefits and values of entrepreneurial learning, risk-taking, and innovation in delivering their social enterprise idea.
