3T Academy Entrepreneurial Skills Workshop - Redmond

Event description

Develop the Durable & Technical Skills Every Entrepreneur Needs

Discover how college can become your launchpad for entrepreneurship.

This session spotlights the courses, certificates, degrees, and campus resources that help you build the durable and technical skills every business owner needs. You’ll see that college isn’t just a place to learn – it’s a place to experiment, collaborate, prototype, and grow your ideas with real support behind you.

This workshop is interactive and built for connecting. You’ll team up with peers, tackle creative challenges, and head off-site for activities that bring the entrepreneurial mindset to life. Whether you dream of launching a business or just want to build skills that open doors, you’ll walk away inspired, informed, and ready for your next step.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be 3T Academy without time to socialize, have fun, and build a community of peer support!
