Collaborative Learning

We believe collaboration and human connection are essential for effective learning!

From day one, learners join a cohort of future SME business leaders. These groups create a supportive network for learners to share experiences, gain insights, and tackle challenges together.

Each month concludes with a collaborative session, where participants reflect on their learning and problem solve together. This ensures learners end each month with new perspectives and practical strategies to apply in their workplaces.

To enhance connection throughout the month each learner has access to online community forum for ongoing discussions, sharing resources, and staying engaged.
