The DreamBuilder program should run for a period of six months, one facilitation session per week for 13 weeks, followed by three months of mentoring. The content for the training is offered at no-cost through the DreamBuilder online platform.

The second program element is facilitating a course that is part of the Najafi 100 Million Learners Global Initiative, which will seek 15 participants who’s businesses are at more advanced level.
