Students are able to earn course credits toward graduation while working with teachers, business, and community leaders to design a student-led business. The course is run outside of the regular timetable on Monday evenings for 2.5 hours.

The course also allows students to connect with the top entrepreneurial talent across the Lower Mainland, with students competing in a Venture Challenge in the spring.
