The GEE-Free programme is completely free. Participants receive a full global team experience, some guidance, and can earn a certificate, letter of commendation, awards and prize money.

The three advanced programmes cost USD 1,210. These programmes are GEE-Plus (with the option of leading a global team), Leadership Coach, and Business Mentor. Participants receive a training programme, personal coaching, deeply-social networking, get to practice their learned skills on the global stage, and much more. 

 GEE-Free

The GEE-Free has a wide range of participants:

*  About 2/3 of participants are in university classes or work leadership training programmes that are built around the Global Enterprise Experience

*  The remaining 1/3 are volunteers who are doing it for the learning, networking, and recognition on their CV

*  About 60% are undergraduate students, 20% are graduate students (usually MBA), and 20% are in the workforce (usually in management positions). 

*  The GEE-Free is completely free. We are grateful for any donations to support our work.

GEE-Plus

GEE-Plus costs USD 1,210 for individuals and we have institutional agreements for multiple enrolments. Here are some considerations:

*  The programme is best suited to masters level students or managers in the workplace.

*  About 96% of GEE-Plus enrolees choose to take the team leadership offer, the remaining 4% choose to be a team member but make use of the workshops, training materials, and personal coaching.

*  The leadership role is demanding! So says a talented US military manager with a PhD who enrolled for three years. In the first two years she was a team member who excelled with winning the GEE Peer-Leader Award. In her third year she took on the leadership role. She was startled that the leadership role was such a big step up in terms of time, commitment, responsibility, learning and insights. 

Leadership Coach

The Leadership Coach programme costs USD 1,210 for individuals, and we have institutional agreements for multiple enrolments. Here are some considerations:

*  Leadership Coaches must have the mana to engender respect from the GEE Team Leaders

*  The coaches are usually:

managers in the workforce, or

people trained in coaching who wish to increase their skills, coaching experience and/or gain a coaching qualifications, or

masters students, or

staff in organisation seeking to bring in a coaching culture, or

top performers in previous Global Enterprise Experience contests.

*  Coaches must have access to a private space and reliable internet connection.

*  Enrolment numbers are strictly limited to 56 people.

Business Mentor

The Business Mentor programme costs USD 1,210 for individuals, and we have institutional agreements for multiple enrolments. It is an invitation only programme as enrolees need strong skills in business and personal mana. Enrolments are strictly limited to 20 people. Contact us if you are interested in being invited to enrol. The programme is useful for gaining skills and experience in:

*  Mentoring small businesses and start ups

*  University lecturing and tutoring to gain skills in fostering student-led learning and insights

*  Facilitation skills for individual and group learning

*  Strategic thinking skills for starting new ventures

The GEE-Free programme is completely free. About 80% of participants are in the free programme. They are team members and receive emailed guidance during the contest.

The remaining 20% of participants are in the GEE-Plus programme that costs USD1,210. They receive full training, personal coaching, business mentoring, networking, and access to leading roles.

No. The Global Enterprise Experience is open those in the workforce, voluntary agencies, tertiary education, or parenting. To date participants have come from 900 universities and 440 organisations. 

The programme director creates the teams. The aim is to make the teams as diverse as possible with different cultures, time zones, world views, English language skills, including both developed and developing nations. 

Enrollees usually enrol as a single, but they can also enrol as a pair to ensure they have a colleague in the same team as themselves.
