Leading a global team: GEE-Plus enrolees get priority rights to lead a global team. On the enrolment form, let us know if you would like to be invited to lead - either on your own or with a colleague. Team leadership is about double the work of being a team member. As leader you start the team, establish the technology platforms, lead a creative process to generate great social enterprise ideas, gain agreement, manage conflict, keep to deadlines, make tough decisions when necessary, assure a quality proposal, build mutual respect for the team's diverse world-views, and inspire the joy of fellowship. Past graduates say the experience was the most significant factor in transforming their lives and landing their dream job. 

Add a qualification: GEE-Plus enrollees can have their work marked to earn a micro-credential issued by Victoria University of Wellington. This is New Zealand's capital city university and is ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world. You can earn one of two qualifications that are standalone and can be used toward undergraduate and graduate diploma qualifications:

Leadership in the Global Enterprise Experience Micro-credential, (12 points at Level 7 - i.e. third year university). Only team leaders are eligible.

Peer-Leadership in the Global Enterprise Experience Micro-credential (8 points at Level 6, i.e. second year university). All GEE-Plus enrolees are eligible.
