Personalized path.

Here’s a rule of thumb to consider when choosing the right learning program:
If it’s not personalized, it’s not effective.

Each one of the 20 candidate is different. You have different goals, characters, skills and mindsets. This is why our programs are limited to only 20 per cohort. Each candidate that enrolls in the program has a personal path that is created and tracked by the experts. This makes the learning process much more effective and helps us open the right connections and opportunities for each one! 

Access a global network forever!

The value doesn’t end when you graduate. In fact, building a strategic network is what will actually bring the right opportunities.

When you make it in the program, you’ll be benefiting forever. 
When the program ends, you’ll have access to our global experts network from leading companies including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Uber ATG, Disney, BIG and much more! 

Besides the network, you’ll be included in our global community and channels where we host events, share learnings and support each other to reach each one’s goals.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are you a young adult interested to acquire the hottest business skills to implement and turn your idea/side hustle into a viable business? If that’s you, we’d love to have you on-board! 

Absolutely! This is a great hands-on program to learn business skills that are applicable wherever you go. The skills that you’ll acquire will allow you to stand out in any company and will come in action once an idea pops in your mind! 

You bet! Each certificate comes with a unique ID number that you can share with future employers. This ID will be used by the recruiters on our website to show your work done, the experts involved in and all the skills you acquired from this program. Don’t worry, they’ll be impressed.

Not at all, we’ve designed the program to be outside working/learning hours. Most sessions will be in the weekend or after working hours.

It’s a hybrid model between online and physical learning experience. We have designed the program to be as much hands-on as possible. You will be engaging physically with the experts while taking all necessary COVID-19 measures.

Physical sessions take place in Dubai and are a maximum of 5. All physical sessions are recorded online in case you were not able to attend any one of them.

No worries, all sessions will be recorded in order not to miss any content.

Every program has a waiting list and so will this. If all seats are already reserved, you will be added to the waiting list. If one of the registered candidates cancels their registration for some reason or emergency, we will give the first one on the waiting list the opportunity to enroll. That’s why we always encourage to reserve your seat as soon as possible.
