Course Description
The School of Business & Entrepreneurship (SOBE) teaches you to use business as a tool to see God’s redemption and transformation in a culture with a specific focus of impacting the least-reached peoples on the planet. Pioneered globally in YWAM at our campus in 2014, the SOBE is a ground-breaking secondary course that introduces fundamental core business topics.
Our speakers include BAM practitioners from the field, as well as successful business people with missions experience from our local community. Running parallel to the teaching, students are writing a business plan, incorporating all that they have learned from each speaker. Our business experienced staff and our network of BAM mentors come alongside the students throughout the weeks to assist them.
Course content includes:
- Marketing
- Relational Sales
- Operations and Fulfillment
- Product Development
- Brand Management

- Introduction to Business as Mission
- The Biblical Purpose and Values of Business

- Weekly BAM Case Studies
This cohort option is an alternative to our 12-week Online SOBE. Students who want more live elements to the school will want to consider coming to take part in the Campus Cohort version of the Course.
The cohort students will continue to interact with the online students as they would in every Online SOBE. This means participatingin live zoom events with all the students around the globe and with that weeks instructors.
