Participants in the ROEF programme are typically in their twenties and thirties and come from diverse backgrounds in terms of country of origin, industry, generation, and stage of development of their enterprise family. The programme is designed to foster growth and learning, allowing participants to master both financial and non-financial skills required and overcome the challenges faced by transgenerational enterprise families and provides them with the experience and hard and soft skills needed to support their family in an increasingly complex society and challenging world.
The programme spans nine months and includes three 5-day modules, live in Amsterdam and Miami, as well as one-on-one coaching with a personal mentor and four 2.5-hour scheduled online modules. This combination creates an accessible and diverse learning environment that maximizes the programme's value and impact.
