Professional Feasibility Study and Proposal Development Course

Course Overview

Feasibility study and proposal development are critical processes that are necessary for the success of a project or business venture be it for profit or non-profit. The feasibility study determines whether the project is viable, while the proposal outlines the details of the project and persuades stakeholders to support and invest in it. Both processes require careful research, analysis, and planning to ensure the project is successful.

This course is essential for scholars and professionals who are into or interested in project management, entrepreneurship, or business development. The course provides the skills and knowledge needed to assess the viability of a proposed project or business venture and develop a compelling proposal to secure funding and support.
