Laneway Education
Created to bridge the gap between academic learning and the real world, that feeling you get when you study for years, get your first job and realise you still have a lot to learn.
With a focus on entrepreneurship and helping students with business ideas develop them into successful businesses, Laneway created the Diploma of Entrepreneurship & Innovation in collaboration with startups and industry professionals. Laneway is the only college in Australia to offer this unique course.
The 4 different course specialisation areas available are:
· Startups/Entrepreneurship – for those that have a business idea or project they want to launch but need guidance and want to learn the steps to take an idea from just an idea to a successful business.
· Business – understand the bigger picture of businesses. From covering finance, marketing, project management so that you can enter the business world with a solid understanding of how it works
· Marketing – learn how to engage and influence, develop brand loyalty and very importantly execute a marketing campaign. While covering broad marketing knowledge the course focuses on how to use social media and develop a digital marketing strategy
· Leadership & Management – learn how to plan, implement, organise yourself and others in order to achieve an organisations goals. At the same time emphasis is placed on understanding emotional intelligence and what motivates people so that you can use the right communication strategies to lead a team or organisation.
