E-learning course on Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Today, one in four founders is already 50 years old or older when they become self-employed. Thus, together with our partners from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), School of Management and Law, we are currently developing an e-learning course on the topic of “Innovation and Entrepreneurship”.

To ensure that the content actually corresponds to the reality of life and the interests of older learners, we have committed ourselves to the principle of co-development.

  • Pilot study on Design Thinking: A group of learners tested a course on Design Thinking and successfully applied the knowledge to their own projects. The feedback will now be incorporated into the development.
  • Interactive workshops: This is where we regularly discuss the required content and methods. The commitment and expertise of our 60+ learners are inspiring and help us to develop a tailored course.
  • Pilot study 2 on modules 1 and 2: We have completed the first two modules of the course and five learners have tested them. The feedback helps us to finalize the remaining modules.
