The LaunchPad Institute Management Bootcamp is an opportunity for students to quickly get acquainted with critical business concepts. The Bootcamp is scheduled over three Saturdays in April, with each Saturday following a similar structure but covering different topics: financial accounting, strategy, and leadership. In addition, there will be speakers scheduled to supplement the classroom work.
Students will also participate in a Career Development day where we will visit Fidelity Investments in Boston, meet with the recruiting team, and learn how to prepare for internships.
At the end of the Bootcamp, students will have been exposed to key business concepts and skills such as reading financial statements, calculating financial ratios, the end-to-end value chain analysis of a firm, competitive advantage, and authentic leadership development. If students are interested in learning more about business, but not sure where or how to start, the Bootcamp is the place to go.
There is a fee of $150 to cover the cost of materials and instruction.
In addition, the Management Bootcamp is a critical part of the LPI Ireland program. All the participants in the Ireland program will be participating in the Bootcamp as an important way to level-set the LPI Ireland team, build community, and begin to develop key skills. LPI Ireland participants will be automatically enrolled in the Bootcamp.
