La Trobe University global entrepreneurship program open for applications

The program involves an eight-week online study, and the chance to be involved in a six-month "accelerator" program which includes an international experience with one of La Trobe University's four partners in Belgium, India, Indonesia or Singapore.

Shepparton Campus head Elizabeth Capp said it would be wonderful to see Shepparton start-ups take advantage of the program.

“It will assist them to further scale their enterprises and develop their international markets and global customer reach,” she said.

Regional and rural start-ups have been encouraged to apply.

Applications can be made at latrobe.edu.au/accelerator and close on August 28.
