2. Course features
– The wide-ranging and fundamental elements of entrepreneurship are roughly divided into 3 categories; “Initiative,” “Motivation,” and “Innovation,” and there are two segments: “Basic” courses that train students in each of these, and “Practical” courses that use these mindsets and skills to demonstrate new value to society (also suitable for students who want to gain experience leading to “starting a business”).
