Entrepreneurship is not reserved for tech founders in Silicon Valley. It is happening in garages in Geelong, market stalls in Cairns, and spare bedrooms in suburban Sydney. But most people who want to start something have no framework for thinking about it clearly. This course gives you one. Across 3 modules, you will learn what entrepreneurship actually is versus what popular culture says it is, how to find and evaluate genuine business opportunities, and how to build a simple business model for an original idea before investing any time or money in making it real. This course is designed for young Australians who are curious about starting a business, students exploring entrepreneurship as a career direction, and anyone who has ever had an idea and wondered whether it could become something.
