Together the five of us have established SSES, our joint school devoted to offering our students education, training and inspiration in applied entrepreneurship. So, if you are a student of ours: a special welcome! If not, check out our events and seminars.

Workshops

Our workshops are all about expanding and polishing your entrepreneurial toolbox. They are carefully developed in close collaboration with SSES students and alumni to offer hands-on behaviour changing training. Although the topics are general in nature, all workshops are designed for the context of the entrepreneur. All workshops are free to attend and open to all students at our member schools.

Weekend Workshops offer in-depth study and exploration of specific skill sets. To ensure participants get the most from each workshop they are held in small groups of no more than 14 participants. Not surprisingly, they are held over weekends.

Toolbox Fridays give you an initial glance at a specific skill set. As they are introductory in nature they are held in somewhat larger groups with up to 30 participants. And, as you may have guessed, they are organised on Friday afternoons.

International Bootcamps are held around the globe together with our partners and friends. Challenging but rewarding they are designed for our most engaged and devoted students. They are sporadic in timing but keeping an eye open for them is certainly worthwhile.
