Hosted at The GracedLife Leadership Centre (TGLC), the goal of The University of British Columbia – UBC Sauder LIFT is to fuel entrepreneurship, as participants create or improve their own ventures even as TGLC seeks to raise change-driven (business) leaders to pioneer Africa’s development and transformation. The curriculum is foundational in nature and entrepreneurial in spirit. Using the Business Model Canvas as a template, UBC Sauder LIFT focuses on three pillars: financial management, marketing, and strategy.
The program will feature a series of asynchronous videos and assessments for participants to complete on their own time. At the end of each phase, there will be a live session at The GracedLife Leadership Centre, hosted by UBC Sauder Instructors. Participants are required to complete all videos and assessments prior to each in-person meeting. The individual preparation time commitment will be 3-5 hours per week. There will be 50-60 videos to watch during the program each with assessments. There are five in-person sessions and attendance at all is required. The program is based on a high level of interaction, presentations, and feedback.
