Course starts with a personal interview with each student to understand the student's situation. After the interview, the students prepare – together with the course teachers - a personal “workout” plan. At the end of the course, students should be able to either continue to an incubator, an innovation program or run their business. Using the entrepreneurial theory of Effectuation, the students explore the ENT landscape of their art or design fields.
