PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE
Be better equipped to get your students college and career ready. Take a deep dive into the BizInnovator curriculum and modern methodologies, like Design Thinking and Lean Startup, with BizInnovator professional development. Although the curriculum toolkit can be licensed without taking the online certification course, we recommend the course for its supplemental knowledge and resources. The course helps teachers fully leverage the toolkit and enhance entrepreneurship education. Plus, educators who successfully complete BizInnovator professional development are certified to offer high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn college credit.
