After many successful editions of the event, we are again offering the possibility of hosting our course to LGs with the ambition and willingness to further work with LSS in the future.
What is the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Central Course?
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology used in many companies to reduce waste and eliminate variation to improve corporate performance. Having a professional Green Belt certificate in Lean Six Sigma can give students a big head start for their careers. The ESTIEM Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Course aims to give ESTIEMers the opportunity to obtain a high-quality Green Belt certificate already during their studies – current options outside of ESTIEM are both expensive and not focused on students.
International Event - the Central Course
The event is usually 7 days long, of which 5 are working days. Participants will need to watch online videos, apply what they learned in examples provided during the training event, show their newly developed skills in a final case study and then get the chance to conduct their own Lean Six Sigma internship.
It is also possible to have an additional day for a company visit if needed. Here you can see the first draft of an Agenda.
What we are aiming for
Unlike most other projects in ESTIEM, our events always have the same agenda but therefore offer a lot of value to participants and a lot of potential to the LG.
What we are looking for in return is the will and motivation to not only host the Central Course and then stop being engaged with the topic, but to go one step further and strive for bringing your own first Local Course to your university and Local Group.
In order to do so you’ll also need the interest and dedication from few members to apply for the event and sign up as instructors afterwards, so those members will be the first generation to deliver your Local Course.
This way your LG will even benefit a lot more than from simply having only one single international event.
Regional Courses and Local Courses
The main difference from the Central Course is that Local Courses are set up in your university, by your local instructors for your local members.
If your LG is permanently struggling with finding members or establishing yourself at university, you can also invite external IEM students to boost your popularity and visibility.
In case you possibly wouldn’t receive enough applications for a Local Course, you can negotiate with your neighboring LGs and go for a Regional Course first.
As long as you take the knowledge one step closer to your own LG or even other LGs you help us grow and you help ESTIEMers, as well as yourself, to develop.
We are aware that at this point you might not be really into the scope of given possibilities. Contact us for clarification and we can already talk about the best potential follow-up event for your LG after having an international event. If you need more specific information about Local Courses, please contact Juliana.Fernandes@estiem.org.
Why should you go for it?
Hosting your own Local Course afterwards comes along with many benefits:
- Unique opportunity on an internationally acknowledged methodology
- Attractive for members with rare time for international travelling
- Being an exclusive association by also offering the Local Course to external IEM students
- Increases the visibility of your Local Group on the campus
- Reach out easily for corporate partners and establish a collaboration with professors/the university
- Implement the course in the curriculum if possible
