Continuing the Commitment: Advancing Project Hatchery Facilitators through the 100 Million Learners Training Session

 

   

Online Global Entrepreneurship Program Facilitator Training (February 5, 2026)

Building on the successful Facilitator Training for the 100 Million Learners Bootcamp on Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation previously conducted in collaboration with the Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University, BINUS University International continues its strong commitment to strengthening the capacity of Project Hatchery facilitators.

As a strategic follow-up initiative, the 100 Million Learners (100ML) Team led a dedicated training session on Thursday, February 5, 2026, designed to prepare Project Hatchery facilitators to confidently guide and support learners throughout the 100ML Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation Foundations course experience.

Strengthening Facilitation for Global Impact

This session was not merely an introduction to course content—it was a focused capacity-building workshop aimed at deepening facilitators’ understanding of:

  • The pedagogical philosophy behind the 100ML Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation Foundations course
  • Effective facilitation strategies in digital and hybrid learning environments
  • Methods for guiding experiential, discussion-based, and reflective learning processes
  • Techniques to support diverse learners in a global entrepreneurship classroom

By empowering facilitators with clarity and confidence, the session ensures that learners will receive not only structured content delivery, but also meaningful mentorship throughout their entrepreneurial learning journey.

  • Riley Millner, Instructional Designer at Thunderbird School of Global Management
  • Samanta Alvis, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Najafi 100 Million Learners Global Initiative
  • Simon Turner, Global Lead Partnership Thunderbird’s 100 Million Learners

Their expertise in instructional design, global program leadership, and entrepreneurship education provided valuable insights into how facilitators can create impactful learning experiences aligned with global standards.

From Bootcamp to Foundations: A Sustainable Learning Ecosystem

While the previous bootcamp-focused training introduced facilitators to the broader structure of the 100 Million Learners initiative, this latest session emphasized sustainability and long-term implementation within the Project Hatchery ecosystem.

Facilitators were guided through:

  • Course navigation and learning platform structure
  • Best practices for facilitating reflective discussions
  • Strategies to encourage learner accountability and engagement
  • Approaches to connecting global case studies with local entrepreneurial contexts

This structured preparation ensures that Project Hatchery facilitators are not only content-aware but also pedagogically equipped to nurture entrepreneurial mindsets among students.

Empowering Facilitators, Empowering Learners

The 100 Million Learners Global Initiative aims to democratize access to world-class entrepreneurship education worldwide. Through this continued collaboration, BINUS University International further strengthens its role as an active partner in delivering globally recognized, accessible, and impactful entrepreneurship education.

For Project Hatchery learners, this means:

  • Guided exposure to global entrepreneurship frameworks
  • Structured mentorship throughout the 100ML Foundations course
  • Development of innovation-driven thinking
  • Strengthened soft skills, including leadership, collaboration, and resilience

For facilitators, this training reinforces their role not only as instructors—but as mentors, connectors, and catalysts for innovation.
