The Entrepreneurial Skills Passport (ESP) Program is part of GENIAL initiative. The ESP offers a non-credited program for students and modules targeted at professionals that allow them to earn micro-credits. The ESP is an experiential learning program that is focused mainly on learning by doing and allows all participants to earn a digital badge.

Student-entrepreneurs learn the challenges of becoming an entrepreneur by:

a) experimenting how to discover business opportunities and develop innovative solutions and strategies to exploit those opportunities,

b) building a proof of business concept through the creation and management of a real e-commerce business and

c) finally learning to communicate the value of their business to potential partners to gather seed funding allowing them to launch and scale their business. The duration of the program is 15 weeks and include a series of workshops, entrepreneurial activities, and presentations.

This training program allows participants to develop their entrepreneurial skills. As the number of available seats is limited, applicants will undergo a selection process. Participants receive a certificate after completing the program. A symbolic $ 50 fee is required to cover the administrative fees to deliver the certificate.
