Overview

WDI created an 8-week online course: Starting a Business: Your Entrepreneurial Journey. The pilot program ran in April-May 2023. The course consists of live training sessions, guest talks, short videos, online quizzes, and a capstone project in which participants work in teams to conceptualize and pitch a new business via a video. The video is then judged by the program mentors and winning teams receive a special certificate. The pilot program had 88 participants from 9 countries.
