Immersive learning includes close to real simulated experiences and actual application on campus and outside as well.
EIMR offers, as a part of the course, coaching and mentoring through four support functions: Centre for Self-Integration, Centre for Incubation, Centre for Business Consultation & Research, and Centre for Technology Consultation. This support extends up to 3 months post-completion of the course.
Participants have the opportunity to network with like-minded peers as well as founders and
CXOs. EIMR’s collaborative environment, designed like a co-working space, encourages networking and may even lead to potential co-founder connections.
Unlike with online courses, the EIMR program is not just about knowledge acquisition but application along with demonstration of required skills and behaviours. Founders and CXOs who facilitate sessions, share real-world best practices, providing a unique learning experience. Additionally, our course includes personalized support and mentorship, a feature often lacking in online courses, contributing to a more comprehensive and impactful learning journey. You experience simulations and work on applying the learning to your idea(s) at every phase of the program.
