Educate your students to become both employees and employers

In a 4-week-long digital growth program, students are trained to work quickly and iteratively with the aim of rapidly validating ideas, finding their market position, and effectively reaching their customers. The program includes two workshops, weekly growth meetings, continuous feedback, and access to our digital growth tools. Each student team can have up to five members.

Embedded Kickstart Program - How it works by The Scaling School

Start quickly, End together

Workshops

1st Workshop - Business Hackathon
We believe in the power of executing. Therefore, the program starts with a workshop where we introduce students to the tools and they work directly with them. At the end, students will leave with a growth plan on how to validate or grow their business. The growth plan contains tasks they will complete during growth meetings and in their spare time.

2nd Workshop - Offboarding Party
At the end of the program, students will review their progress and give feedback to their peers. This helps them understand how others have progressed and what worked for them. Gaining insights form other industries and types of businesses is essential when building your own business. Students will also fill out a survey where they evaluate their own efforts, the program and what they have improved.

Students stay committed.

Growth Meetings

Growth meetings are weekly sessions where students can work on several different things. Students can work on their growth plan using our tools, they can discuss with each other, receive feedback from coaches, or execute the tasks they got from the growth plan. These tasks can be to build a website, call potential customers, or creating marketing content. Tasks that progress their business idea!

The main purpose of the Growth Meetings is that the students do something. Often, entrepreneurs plan and talk. We ensure they take action!

Scaling Tools

The Scaling School has several tools. In this program, students work with a tool called Customer Segmentation.
‍
This tool help students map and prioritise between possible customers, helping you market, sell and develop products fitted to your value-creating customers. The tool includes templates, examples cases and a guide. When using the tool, students end up with key actions they need to do in the short-term in order to progress their business.

If needed, students can ask for help when learning how to use the tool. Afterwards, they can work with it independently.
