Leeds School of Business won the 鈥淓xcellence in Entrepreneurship Teaching and Pedagogical Innovation Award鈥� at the Global Consortium for Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) Annual Event in Stockholm, September 26-28, 2019.

The Deming Center for Entrepreneurship鈥檚 innovative education on high growth ventures stood out from a pool of 50 centers that applied. While many programs focus on startups, Deming goes a step further with its unprecedented High Growth Venture (HGV) Fellowship. The program drops MBA students into the world of scalable startups to build an in-demand, specialized skillset. A combination of coursework, co-curricular options, workshops and summer听internships immerses students in academic and experiential learning unique to growth-stage companies.

In addition, Deming and Leeds鈥� MBA Program developed the High Growth Venture MBA Pathway鈥攁 recommended combination of courses and co-curricular programs to acquire targeted skills, knowledge and connections at scaleups. Students work directly with faculty, entrepreneurs, accelerators and investors to learn how to: rapidly scale a good idea, build a unique organizational culture and pivot quickly when a roadblock emerges.

Of the award, Deming Executive Director Erick Mueller says, 鈥淣one of us in entrepreneurship education do our work to win awards. But this is a great opportunity to pause and appreciate the impact of our programs.鈥�
