The hands-on, interactive classroom experience will take students through the venture creation process from ideation to launch-readiness. Learning will cover topics across the entrepreneurial landscape, from market research to business models to pitching your venture.

The program is designed to integrate experiential learning offerings with classroom learning experiences. It will be offered in-person through the Roux Institute and Northeastern University’s D’Amore-McKim School of Business School.

Experiential Learning

Learning integrated with professional experience is a hallmark of Northeastern and the Roux Institute. Students gain a clear understanding of the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Maine and the Northeast—and valued workplace skills like communication and teamwork. All opportunities enable students to build their resumés, expand their professional networks, and chart a path to in-demand careers.

At the Roux Institute, we believe in integrating classroom learning with experience, and the Entrepreneurship Trek will offer you not only rich academic coursework, but also the opportunity to get to know Maine’s startup companies to grow your professional network, improve your skills, and apply classroom learnings in a practical setting.

By the end of the program, you will be armed with the practical skills, expertise, and confidence to excel in your next professional pursuit—whether that be with your own venture, joining a startup or larger organization.
