WHERE IT'S HAPPENING
- FAQs.If you are wondering about something else, please let us know.
We will update this section with your questions.Can I join the programme if I’m studying / working?Sure, actually most of the previous participants were either working or studying while doing the programme.Is there an age restriction?No. We look for diversity, in age, gender, background and character. If you are at a crossroads in life and not sure about what's next, this programme is for you.What’s the application deadline?Our budapest impact programme has been discontinued and now you can join in Debrecen or if in Budapest, join our new Service Design training.
Why work as teams?For individuals it is a great opportunity to learn a lot because of the different stages the project has to go through, thus the variety of work that has to be done.Idea owners and teams have the chance to work with new people that bring new ideas and approaches, knowledge, contacts and boosting power for their projects.It is a win-win for all.How much work is it?Developing a startup is not the typical 9-17 job, each team will decide -or the project may decide for you- how to organize the workload and the amount of hours that each member will undertake. It means it is really up to you.When are the training sessions?Every Monday, typically from 18 to 20hs.
Sometimes we may meet up earlier for some additional activities (mentoring, practical work), but we check it with you in advance. Some other times we may stay after hours, for mentoring, talking or –sometimes- partying.
None of this stuff is mandatory, but it is just much better if you are around.
