The Core Curriculum is the heart
of the Startup Institute experience
The Startup Institute Core curriculum is designed to target the culture skills that our hiring partners value most—and the skills that will take you from "worker" to "leader".
In addition to your skills training, you’ll receive instruction and coaching in emotional intelligence, collaboration techniques, networking, and the culture of high-growth companies. The Core focuses on the skills and mindsets that separate great hires from good ones. No matter which track you choose, all students receive the same Core training.
