Entrepreneurship Pathway

About the Program

The Entrepreneurship Pathway is self-led through our online portal, but you have access to weekly check-ins with your mentor, boot camps and extra support. This gives participants the flexibility to complete the training at their own pace, however, the training must be completed within 12 weeks. This program is fully subsidised and is delivered at no cost to you.
