Trekker Training:

The first opportunity you have performing as a Team Leader will be at Trekker Training. You have experienced this yourself – this time you’re behind the scene – responsible for the event with the massive support and guidance of the Project Everest team.

Value

Preparing you with a business mindset, you have access to personnel that have been working in or with start ups for years. We have a heavy focus on preparing businesses for venture capital raising, lean startup methods, marketing & growth hacking and scaling up. We are open to innovation and improvement on every level and welcome your influence.

Completing a Project Everest™ Ventures Project is an impressive challenge, prospective employers search for indications of soft skills which are demonstrated exclusively through experience. Your position as a Team Leader elevates this statement. Employers want to see your ability to take responsibility, motivate yourself and others, project manage, communicate effectively, make decisions and solve problems, and work in a team structure. This also transfers to self-awareness, belief in capacity, resilience, preparedness, frugality, and the priceless ability to maintain humour during hardship.

Project Everest™ Ventures considers each of our participants a member of our team, you know that from Trekking, you would have noticed the bond Leaders have developed, that bond and mateship continues to grow as you train and develop together. Project Everest™ Ventures has a vision for creating impact in communities, students, and cross-cultural links. This vision is global, and extends far beyond the month-long Project you’ve completed, or Team Leadership. We currently operate in four countries, Timor-Lesté, Cambodia, Fiji and Malawi, facilitating students based in Singapore and Australia, and this is just the beginning. We are looking to India and the U.K in 2018. As we look to expand, we will look to our Leaders to take up those roles and influence that direction – we provide this opportunity to university students, nowhere else will you find this responsibility, trust, or opportunity.

You will be training in deeply simulated scenarios where you will discover how to influence your immediate reaction to situations, how to manage a team with consideration of their personalities, goals, and limitations. How to make effective and timely decisions, respond to a crisis, mentor and counsel an individual and a team, improve your communication skills, verbal and physical. Emotional Intelligence is ranked above intelligence quotient in what employers look for in a candidate.

Leadership training is 90% practical based, simulated in a foreign country context, designed to challenge you to adapt and illustrate resilience and stability under pressure. You will physically move about in a simulated foreign environment and be required to respond to issues as they present themselves to you over the course of the immersion. Generally, 40 facilitators are present to make this happen and they are all present solely to get you ready for project.

Experienced facilitation and delivery by trainers who have extensive experience in-country and from the Australian Military. Your trainers have a combined 30+ years experience doing what they are doing and are geared towards making sure you trained beyond the level we expect of any person wishing to step into the role of a Team Leader. The support they offer you is unprecedented and probably unheard of throughout any other training you have experienced in this field.

Three-Part Approach

Team Leadership Training is split into three (3) parts:

1. Immersion Period Training (7 Days)

2. Workshop Training (Weekly)

3. International Leadership Placement (4 week long placement)*

What Happens During the Immersive Period Training?

The Leadership Training is intense, challenging, and transformative. It will get you out of your comfort zone in an environment that is unexpected, turbulent, supportive and geared at your personal and professional development. All facilities and resources required are onsite, with time allocated between covering theoretical aspects of Leadership, bonding with the other Leaders in your cohort, and practical scenarios. Everything you learn is implemented, facilitated closely by Project Everest™ Ventures staff, trainers, and previous Leaders. The purpose of the Immersive Period Training is to get you ready to lead a real time business venture, illustrating to you the importance of staying focused and having the ability to influence your team to drive towards one crucial goal.

Dates: Saturday 15 September 2018 – Friday 21 September 2018, inclusive.

We can provide a support letter outlining the value of the Training for students to apply for special consideration. We recognise there may be some overlap, it’s your responsibility to approach your subject coordinator and pitch the value of this training to allow for consideration, this has been done multiple times previously and has not been an issue.

Time: Sunrise to Sunset.
