 Japanese
Entrepreneurial Training Program
August
25, 2003
Larta and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO)
have created a four-month course to provide business
training to Japanese entrepreneurs.
Larta is developing workshops and internship programs
that will familiarize Japanese businesspeople with American
business practices, and will also arrange mentorships
and site tours for the visiting students. Larta's workshops
will deliver an integrated experience designed to provide
Japanese entrepreneurs with a full array of skills needed
to start, fund, and manage new business ventures. A
key component of these workshops will be a focus on
development of each participant's business plan.
The
program will also include a nine-week internship program
that puts the participants' learning into practice and
a formal ceremony where participants present their business
plans to a distinguished group of investors and industry
experts. The program will be based on the practical
realities of successful entrepreneurship, drawing from
Larta's extended network to deliver the following services:
Development
and administration of practical entrepreneurs business
training workshops that focus on real-world application
and outcomes
Development
and administration of an advanced internship program
that meets the needs of each Japanese entrepreneur
Comprehensive
entrepreneurial workshop program materials, with detailed
documentation, allowing for ongoing reference by participants
Dedicated
and qualified mentorship, one-on-one mentorship for
each participant to advise and offer constructive
feedback
Special
tours and site visits that expose Japanese entrepreneurs
to cutting edge research centers (university and industry),
executive management, and leading small, medium and
large technology firms.
A
final business plan presentation event and ceremony
in which students deliver their business plan to leading
U.S. business executives and the venture/investment
community.
The
program will take place in Los Angeles, with scheduled
tours and visits ranging from Santa Barbara to San
Diego, where appropriate.
