In addition, STEP S training will help you build practical entrepreneurial skills to launch your impact startup.
Description
The Student Training for Entrepreneurial Promotion Sustainability (STEP S) is an action-oriented entrepreneurship training focusing on sustainability. Interested students learn about the entrepreneurial process by working in teams on a start-up project.
During the 12 sessions, evidence-based, entrepreneurial action knowledge is developed that can be directly applied to one’s start-up project. The training is accompanied by experienced trainers who support the teams.
The 12 sessions cover the complete entrepreneurial process and provide content from sustainable entrepreneurship, management, and psychology.
The positive effect of STEP
STEP creates self-confidence: STEP participants exhibit higher entrepreneurial self-efficacy after training and in the long term than members of a comparable control group.
STEP helps develop ideas: Participants in the training identify more business ideas than control group members.
STEP promotes the creation of businesses: One year after training, STEP participants start 33% more companies than a comparable control group.
STEP makes people happy: STEP participants show higher life satisfaction in the long term than the control group.
The unique selling points of STEP:
- Action Principals are the core of each session. Following those rules of thumb raises the likelihood of being a successful entrepreneur.
- STEP is evidence-based: The content and training methods are based on scientific findings.
- The training has been successfully conducted with over 10,000 people on three continents and evaluated according to the highest scientific standards.
When does it take place, and how can I participate?
The program consists of six training days. These occur weekly on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at various innovation locations in the Hamburg metropolitan region. The first training day will take place on 27.10. at Startup Port @TUHH. The course language is German. The start-up projects are further developed independently within the teams in the work phases between the live sessions.
In the end, there will be a final pitch-presentation.
The program requires a reasonable amount of time. Depending on the start-up project, the program will require 5 to 10 hours of effort per week (in addition to the training days).
