The StartupYou (SuY) program is structured not only to develop competencies to be business ready but to make each student life ready and market ready, to build a mindset that will make them ‘life entrepreneurs’ who are lifelong learners regardless of any environment they are in, and will succeed in any career they choose to pursue.
Children aren’t required to spend excessive amounts of time on-screen, encouraging learning at their own pace. Classes consist of brief sessions curated by specialized faculty members, with an emphasis on fun, engaging, interactive learning.
StartupYou focuses on building and developing an entrepreneurial mindset within students and its key outcomes/main deliverables include:
a. Creative confidence – in other words, inculcating a specific set of skills and innovative competencies which can be used throughout personal journeys.
b. Enhancing problem solving skills by developing a designer’s mindset.
c. Individuals who are both pragmatic and morally sound. That is, versatile young leaders who are also able to add value to society through their entrepreneurial ventures.
d. Guide students on how to design their future in order to remain relevant in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous [VUCA] world.
e. Development of critical leadership and associated competencies like purpose, vision, anti-fragility, empathy, adaptability, risk-taking, growth mindset, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and persuasive communication.
Experiences can be direct and indirect. In terms of the former, i.e., hands-on experience, the following are some of the opportunities:
a. Design thinking projects
b. Virtual Internships
c. Business Challenges & Hackathons
d. Pursuing goals to achieve one’s Vision.
StartupYou programs are online and open to all students from Grade 7 onwards. The sessions are after school hours and feasible for students to attend after their regular day. Every student will have 1 hour of a live faculty session (batch slots are 5.30 to 6.30 pm and 7 to 8 pm from Monday – Friday) and 1 hour on a Saturday morning to interact with Industry experts/ entrepreneurs and collaborate on their ideas. The curriculum is designed to develop leadership, business and innovation competencies and is structured based on the levels – Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
StartupYou is really a good platform to develop our Entrepreneurial skills, if we are aiming to become a successful person in all aspects of our life. I was part of the beginner level, where I had really good experience with trainer and seekers as well. At the end of every session, we have been assigned with the quests, which really helped to practice in our day-to-day life.
