A free introductory training program designed to nurture entrepreneurial thinking in school students. This program helps young minds explore creativity, problem-solving, and leadership skills. An optional certification exam is available for students who want to validate their learning.

Course objective:

Entrepreneurial thinking is no longer just for business owners - it's a life skill. Whether students dream of building a startup, becoming a scientist, an artist, or a professional, learning to think independently, take initiative, and solve problems will help them succeed in any field. Early exposure to entrepreneurship builds confidence, creativity, and resilience, empowering students to become job creators, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow.

While schools focus on academics, most students rarely get the chance to think creatively, solve real-world problems, or explore how businesses are built. Yet these are the very skills that tomorrow's leaders and innovators need.

To bridge this gap, IITM Pravartak, in collaboration with BodhBridge Education, is offering a Free Entrepreneurship Training Program for students from Classes 7 to 12.
This unique program is designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in young minds by helping them:

• Think beyond textbooks - learn to approach problems with creativity and innovation.
• Spot opportunities - understand how to identify everyday problems and turn them into business ideas.
• Build confidence & leadership - develop communication, teamwork, and adaptability skills that last a lifetime.
