Giving Away an Education
An Alternative MBA to be exact. Seth Godin, self-made millionaire and entrepreneurial creator of Yoyodyne, ChangeThis, and Squidoo, is offering a free six month working-tutorial to a select group of ambitious and charismatic people. Following the programme, successful candidates may be given an internship or an employment opportunity at Squidoo. All students receive a letter of reference and a certificate.
Applicants must be able to live in the New York area for the six months of the programme. Deadline for applications is 14 December 2008.
Here's his proposed agenda:
Godin says: "The program I'd like to do is not an internship. You don't get paid, you don't do scut work, you are not on your own. This is guided quest, one that delivers value to you (from the learning and the doing) and to me (from the teaching and from the work you'll produce.)"
All details are available on Godin's Alternative MBA lens.
