The program will run for 9 weeks. Participants will be exposed to an enterprise education program focused on gaining essential business knowledge, strategies, skills, and tools to build sustainable businesses within the green and social ecosystem.

To qualify, entrepreneurs must have a minimum of Tertiary Education, be founder/co-founder of an existing business within the green and social space, be computer literate, and have access to and be able to use a digitally enabled device.
