2019 Sinapis Academy Entrepreneurial Training
Deadline: January 1, 2019.
The first step for a Sinapis entrepreneur is to complete the SINAPIS ACADEMY, our 4 month, rigorous mini-MBA designed specifically for early to growth stage entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses. This program is practical and focused with everything an entrepreneur needs to know and nothing they don’t. Participants are expected to complete milestones in their business related to what they learned in class. Courses cover Sales, Finance, Management, Operations, Financing, and Leadership. Additionally, 25% of our curriculum is on Kingdom Business, which helps entrepreneurs learn how to integrate their faith with their business so they can glorify God as a business leader in their industry.
During the live, in-person sessions, entrepreneurs:
• Read a localized business case about a case study hero that encounters a challenge in their business that many Sinapis entrepreneurs also face
• Learn the key business concepts they need to know to overcome this challenge
• Learn a toolkit that helps the entrepreneur apply the knowledge to their business
ELIGIBILITY
- Business owners and entrepreneurs who are operating small and medium sized enterprises or startups with high growth potential (not micro-level businesses)
- Those able to dedicate 20 hours per week to the course
- Those willing and able to take course work at the advanced MBA level
