4th Quarter Professional Development Opportunities

Hi there,

Looking for an engaging online professional development opportunity? Now is the time to grow your toolkit and equip yourself and the people you serve with the skills needed to succeed in resource-constrained environments!

Entrepreneurs are highly adaptive and resilient. They are creative and critical thinkers who can identify and solve problems, mobilize resources, and make things happen when the rules aren’t clear, and the path is not well defined.

This four-week online Entrepreneurial Mindset Facilitator Certification Training prepares participants to facilitate the Ice House Entrepreneurship Programs and instill an entrepreneurial mindset in their classroom, organizations, and communities.

Kicking off November 2nd, participants will:

Understand the research, social psychology, and behavioral science behind our definition of an entrepreneurial mindset and how it is framed in the Ice House Programs’ methodology
Engage in the entrepreneurial process through the Ice House Opportunity Discovery Process
Connect the classroom to the community by interacting with local entrepreneurs
Learn how to facilitate the eight life lessons
Distinguish between program editions, delivery, and outcomes
Understand program impact from best practices and use cases
Create an implementation and action plan to incorporate the entrepreneurial mindset in your students, community, or organization
