Do you want to learn Entrepreneurship Skills? Here's an international online course that can get your startup career rolling

Aspiring entrepreneurs will soon have access to education from international B School, thanks to European Business School HEC Paris and Coursera who have joined hands to launch an online international degree program on Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

Called 'Online Master’s in Innovation and Entrepreneurship program', the course is designed for present and future business leaders who wish to drive innovation within their organizations or launch new ventures.

What's in store:
Students will work in teams over a six-month period on a project of choice, from the planning stages to bringing the idea to life. They will receive mentoring from experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders who will meet with them once a week.

Successful graduates will be able to move their respective project into its next phase by applying for seed funding from HEC Paris, and have their project come to fruition at HEC’s incubator, based at Station F, the world’s biggest startup campus. Applications are now open for the first intake of students with classes starting in September 2017.

By the end of the program, successful applicants will understand how to combine talent and capital, manage rapid growth and reduce risk factors by using decision-making skills they have acquired.

“HEC Paris offers participants the opportunity to learn from world-class practitioners in their industries. Through innovative, fully online and interactive courses, participants will leave the program ready to launch their own venture or to innovate within their existing organizations. This is a unique opportunity to earn an HEC Master’s degree and join the exclusive HEC Alumni network," explains HEC Paris Dean Peter Todd.

Meanwhile, Coursera CEO Rick Levin is hopeful that the OMIE will make learning from an international business school attainable to people globally, particularly in India where entrepreneurship has exploded in recent years.

He says - “This is a degree for ambitious students who want to gain access to an international network of entrepreneurs and build high impact companies. Thanks to a unique curriculum based on stackable credentials, participants can benefit at each level of learning. They can choose a single course, decide to specialize in one program, or embark on a full-fledged degree. This degree represents remarkable progress in providing equitable access to education from a business school of repute.”
