The Entrepreneurship Experience unit applies the principles of experiential learning in which students undertake an active learning experience with an entrepreneurial focus.

Students develop their creative thinking, analytical and self-management skills. In programs offered within this unit, students undertake a series of exercises in class, designed to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, skillset and innovation capabilities.

These skills are applied in group projects developing a new business idea. Each program culminates in persuasive presentations of validated business models with the goal of gaining support and/or funding for a new business idea.
