WHY IS THIS PROGRAM DIFFERENT?

1. The trainers - Our trainers are experts, people who have been there and done that. They not only encourage questioning but also give solutions that are practical and applicable at all levels.
2. The Practice - We provide an actual cluster for hands-on practicing. A study shows, learning by doing is 7x more effective than reading, and 15x than simply listening.
3. The Curriculum - Created by experts to equip attendees to hit the ground running. Our interactive sessions along with the curated curriculum make starting a project at work or attending an interview or just upscaling your career a cake walk.

People that want to make a difference. Critical and curious people with an entrepreneurial drive. The result: work with like-minded people.
