Women’s Innovation Lab

Be sure to review program requirements for this certificate

This course is designed to support women in their journey as emerging entrepreneurs. Collaborative and affirming in nature, its purpose is to bolster and empower women founders by providing methods and tools for overcoming the obstacles many female entrepreneurs face. Students will cultivate leadership skills, acquire knowledge and adapt the learning to their specific context to maximize their chance for success. They will be afforded the opportunity to explore the tenets of entrepreneurship and risk-taking in a supportive and contributive environment, learning from successful coaches and established, seasoned entrepreneurs. Moreover, this course will address equity: Women founders often outperform, yet there exists a pervasive equity and funding gap. This course will help shift that narrative.

This certificate is only available as a private offering. Please email Richelle Bess if you would like more information.

Why Choose a Certificate?

Professional Certificates are ideal for developing new skills and building deep expertise in a specialized area to update your professional profile, advance your career, or broaden your knowledge base.

Certificates are an “anytime” credential
Start anytime - after graduation or later in your career - and gain deeper know-how in a specific area without the commitment to a degree.

Certificates demonstrate commitment
The dedication of time to earn a certificate demonstrates that you are committed to achieving a higher standard of professional knowledge in your industry.

Certificates provide immediate “ROE”
Georgia Tech learners master real-world skills and apply them to their career the day after completion.

Certificates stand out on your resume
A Georgia Tech credential carries the professional weight to give you a competitive edge.
