THE HIGHER SCHOOL OF INSURANCE AND FINANCE OPENS "ACADEMY FOR ENTREPRENEURS"

The Higher School of Insurance and Finance (VUZF) is launching a new project that will support and encourage young people who want to start their own business - "Academy for Entrepreneurs". The academy is completely free and anyone who can join it has a desire to develop his entrepreneurial potential.

During it, participants will undergo comprehensive training that will help them build their business. It will go through different modules, each of which will address the specific steps of creating and developing a startup, such as strategy building, brand development, creating an organizational culture, proper communication in the structure, attracting funding sources and potential investors, as well as the various opportunities for digital business development, marketing, sales, etc.

"Academy for Entrepreneurs" starts on April 28 and will be held online. Participants will meet with professors at VUZF and successful Bulgarian entrepreneurs who will be their mentors in the process of building their own business venture. Young entrepreneurs will work on specific ideas, which with the help of mentors, at the end of the academy should become a comprehensive concept for a viable business project.

At the end of the project, they will have to present their projects to an expert jury, which will evaluate their final projects. The winners will receive scholarships to study in the bachelor's and master's programs in entrepreneurship at VUZF.

The academy will last until the beginning of June, and once a week a specific thematic module will be held with many practical examples and assignments, on which future entrepreneurs will work.

Anyone wishing to join can do so free of charge by submitting their application by April 26, 2021. More information about the "Academy for Entrepreneurs" as well as enrollment can be found on the VUZF website.
