New entrepreneurship certificate programme for educators
Our Bureau
Coimbatore, Nov. 22 The National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), a programme initiative of the Wadhwani Foundation, is hoping to work with 600 educational institutions by 2010 by helping them launch next-generation entrepreneurs.
It is aiming to groom thousands of entrepreneurs and thereby create huge job opportunities in India. It is towards this objective that NEN has tied up with Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) and IIM Bangalore’s Nadathur S Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) to create a certificate programme for entrepreneurship educators.
The Entrepreneurship Educators Course (EEC) is a year-long programme in designing, developing and teaching of entrepreneurship programmes for the faculty of NEN’s member institutes.
NEN-NSRCEL-IIMB-STVP recently organised an orientation module workshop for the faculty.
About 30 teachers from 17 colleges attended this workshop at the G R Damodaran Institute here.
NEN currently works with 280 academic institutes including engineering and management institutes, science, arts and commerce colleges in over 30 towns and cities across the country. NEN sources told Business Line that there has been a seven-fold increase in entrepreneurial activity since the start of this initiative.
A number of entrepreneurship programmes was being conducted ‘on campus’.
