Train the Trainer

 

This program used the experiential learning approach to develop entrepreneurial thinking by teaching competences known to be attributes of successful entrepreneurs. The program was designed to be taught to students with little or no formal education, while also providing equal value to students with more advanced education and experience.

​

The train-the-trainer aspect of our program helped ensure that it was accessible to all learners globally. The main goal of trainers in the entrepreneurship program was to change students’ perspectives from one of obstacles to that of opportunities and possibility. The program's main vision was to help change communities through the infusion of entrepreneurs who model inspirational thinking and behavior.

 

Videos, documentation, and support services will provide guidance to trainers and facilitators. As no group of students is the same, these tools were dynamically grown and reworked as programs were offered to new audiences.

Face to Face Instruction

 

Master instructor, Dr. Michael Shafer demonstrates how to engage the students in reflective discussions and elicit their thoughts and insights without exposing any “preferred answer.” Video clips provide focus around specific techniques and the teaching of discreet competencies in a way that other facilitators can examine and apply.

Below is a draft prototype of the types of short videos that demonstrated how to teach concepts and principles described in the weekly lessons. This video was not professionally captured.
