Think Like an Entrepreneur in Life - Not Just in Business
The Everyday Entrepreneur is a 3-day immersive programme designed for UCT students who want to approach life with creativity, adaptability, and purpose. It’s not about starting a business - it’s about learning to think and act like an entrepreneur in whatever you do.
Through hands-on challenges, reflective practice, and collaboration with peers, you’ll learn how to turn uncertainty into opportunity, build confidence in problem-solving, and design your own path - academically, personally, and professionally.
