Explore Business (Yale) is a dynamic two-week summer course introducing students to business, finance, and marketing. Through expert-led workshops, case studies, and guest lectures, students develop entrepreneurial skills and an innovative mindset. The program culminates in the ‘Shark Tank Challenge,’ where students pitch their own business ideas, applying practical knowledge gained from 35 hours of specialist teaching, hands-on experiences, and collaboration with peers.
Students at our Business Summer Course have the potential to launch their own businesses at graduation! The ‘Explore Business’ course provides a broad introduction to business, finance, and marketing. It equips students with the skills to innovate and successfully launch and manage their own businesses. Most importantly, they develop the mindset to become a groundbreaking entrepreneur.
Students immerse themselves in the exciting world of innovation through compelling case studies on companies like Tesla and Tik Tok and profiles of leading innovators like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs. They learn to think like an entrepreneur and strengthen their problem-solving, design and idea-generation skills. This two week Business Summer Course culminates with students taking centre stage and applying those skills in the ‘Explore Business Shark Tank Challenge’, where they will collaborate with your classmates to pitch a new business idea.
