Introducing the Global Certificate in Entrepreneurship (GCE): The E Plus Model
I am glad to share the Global Certificate in Entrepreneurship (GCE), a transformative 50-hour program designed to help individuals from diverse backgrounds embrace an entrepreneurial mindset rooted in purpose, service, and contribution to humanity. The Entrepreneurship Plus Model, at the heart of the GCE, has already impacted thousands across Cuba, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, the Middle East, Bangladesh, India, South America, Australia, and more.
About the E Plus Model: The E Plus Model blends various theories and frameworks, including the emergent strategy framework, sense of wonder and purpose (inspired by Iqbal, Miles Davis, Clayton Christensen, and Asad Zaman), effectuation, and foundational values and virtues. The program is a combination of online sessions, recorded lectures, and one-on-one meetings. Through numerous experiential exercises and worksheets, participants, regardless of race, religion, color, or educational background, are guided to discover an entrepreneurial mindset that promotes a life of meaning, purpose, and service.
Course Structure and Schedule In the most recent cohort, participants spanned 18 to 80 years old, with educational backgrounds ranging from high school to PhD holders and hailed from countries including Cuba, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, the Middle East, Bangladesh, India, South America, and Australia.
The upcoming session offers two batches (GMT+5):
- Batch A: Saturdays from 9 AM to 11 AM (GMT+5)
- Batch B: Saturdays from 7 PM to 9 PM (GMT+5)
