A curated list of ways to upskill or take your first steps as an entrepreneur. In an ever-changing digital world, keeping your skills up to date is essential. Depending on what you want to learn, the variety of courses and pricing options can be endless. So I narrowed it down to a handful for you :) If you are looking for a great all round entry point into entrepreneurship I would look no further than Draper University. I am affiliated with them but that is because I love what they do. Not only do you learn, you have the opportunity to pitch Silicon Valley investors and leave with pre-seed funding (US$100k). I know of no other program that take a risk so early on founders. 1.Draper University Leading Silicon Valley pre-accelerator that also offers online programming and the ability to pitch for pre-seed investment.Startup Pre-Accelerator & Innovation Incubator Silicon Valley. Draper University educates students for real-world success, located in Silicon Valley. Learn from speakers such as Elon Musk and Bill Draper. Visit Today!NEXT↗Life-changing skills. Given the demand for these particular roles - I would say learning Growth Hacking at The Talent Institute or programming at Le Wagon would be a great option. 2.

What I love about Skillshare is the fact that all of their courses are super short. One of the best courses I consumed on Skillshare about productivity was only 23 mins in duration - You don't need all of the fluff!https://www.skillshare.comOnline Classes for Creatives | SkillshareSkillshare is a learning community for creators. Anyone can take an online class, watch video lessons, create projects, and even teach a class themselves.I hope this helped you level up 🚀 STARTUP MELBOURNE © 2024
