Hi there,

Have you considered participating in our Online Entrepreneurial Mindset Facilitator Training? If so, now is the time to register to receive an early bird price of $995! The cost of training will increase to $1,495 on October 1st.

This four-week online Entrepreneurial Mindset Facilitator Certification Training prepares participants to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in both themselves and others.

While you do not need to be a subject matter expert in entrepreneurship, you do need to be an effective facilitator of learning by supporting, guiding, and monitoring the entrepreneurial learning process. This interactive training is a deep dive into the Ice House Program philosophy and Opportunity Discovery Process.

Here’s what recent training participant, Teresa Rand, had to say about the experience.

“This training is imperative for the jobs of the future. Those that are entrepreneurs or working for others can use these skills to stand out from the crowd!”

Live sessions will run for two hours on Fridays throughout the month of November, beginning at 2:00 PM ET.
