Wade Institute acknowledges the Traditional Owners of this land, the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. The Wurundjeri People are the people of the Wurun, the river white gum, who have been custodians of this land for thousands of years. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders – past, present, and emerging.
We’re about bold ideas. Curious, ambitious, driven doers. Scalable and impactful solutions to real world problems.
Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship is a leading centre for entrepreneurial training located at Ormond College.
Established in 2015 thanks to a generous gift from entrepreneur Peter Wade, we deliver a range of immersive education programs, including The University of Melbourne’s Master of Entrepreneurship, VC Catalyst, our investor education program powered by LaunchVic, and UpSchool, our professional development program for educators.
Our school programs provide opportunities for educators and their students to develop essential 21st century skills through transformative learning experiences.
