About this Event

Course 5: GRADUATION and Presentation

The culmination of the program, this final course allows participants to showcase their progress and hard work. The chosen entrepreneurs will present their business plans and pitch their ideas in a contest for a chance to win a prize. This course not only celebrates the journey but also provides valuable experience in pitching and public speaking. Graduates will leave the program with a refined business strategy, enhanced confidence, and a network of supportive peers and mentors.


While not all attendees will be pitching, it is still a great opportunity to celebrate and learn from fellow classmates!


Learning Objectives:

  • Gain Presentation Skills: Participants will develop public speaking and presentation skills, learning how to engage and impress an audience.
  • Receive Constructive Feedback: Participants will receive feedback on their business plans and pitches from peers, mentors, and judges.
  • Celebrate Achievements: Participants will celebrate their progress, acknowledging the hard work and dedication that brought them to graduation.
