WHY THIS COURSE?

Over the past decade and a half, Dr. Raul Deju and his colleagues developed and taught “The Entrepreneurship Program” that is contained in the Curriki platform, with initial support from Chevron, and AT&T. Support also came from the Deju Trust, which aims to turn disabled, minority students–and indeed any would-be entrepreneurs–into successful business owners. This class is designed for those of you who want to build an enterprise that will make the world a better place and at the same time financially reward you and your team. You must recognize the direction the world is moving and how society is continually evolving, because this will help you frame your enterprise.

The material is presented in eight modules detailed below and includes subjects such as how to frame a business, what works and what does not, how to create world class products or services, how to raise early funds–and many other topics. The course includes about 20 hours of interactive lectures with supplementary material featuring Bill Marriott, Tony Robbins, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and numerous other successful entrepreneurs and authors. The contents of each module are summarized below.

The interactive course was created through Curriki’s content authoring platform and their incredible team is available at your convenience to guide you through the process of bringing this course into your organization’s Learning Management System/Website/Other.
