Practical Entrepreneurship Education: Series 4

Entrepreneurship

WETATi Academy entrepreneurship empowerment course cultivates practical, expositional, experiential and mindset shift for program participants. This shift is toward entrepreneurship interest and the development of strong leadership and soft skills that lead to alternatives offered in starting and maintaining a profitable business and or that makes for a great employee. We also focus participants on developing disruptive innovative business ideas and entering fields that have a greater likelihood for the disadvantaged to lead successful careers. We’re proactively challenging and changing the traditional narrative of the low- to moderate-income individuals and students’ mindset and culture that say: go to school, graduate, and get a job mentality; – to go to school and while in school think and look for opportunities to create your own. Wey believe that “impossibility is not a declaration, it’s only a dare.”

WETATi Academy pays close attention to business trends, population changes and opportunities that will help its low-to moderate income youth, like offering extensive training and support in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce training and Cyber Security.

Students will learn about the following:

Be a dreamer and a doer.
