Developing Tomorrow’s Franchise Leaders, Expanding Global Opportunities for Rising Entrepreneurs
The Tariq Farid Franchise Institute at Babson College creates and fosters cross-disciplinary programming that draws on Babson’s business and entrepreneurial expertise, combined with the experience and knowledge of franchising experts, to advance students’ understanding of franchising and the opportunities it can create.
This summer, the Tariq Farid Franchise Institute is offering Introduction to Franchising: Launching Your Brand through Babson’s Arthur M. Blank School Summer Program for rising high school juniors and seniors. Led by Executive Director Ab Igram, this hands-on pre-college business course introduces students to franchising, brand expansion, and venture growth using real-world case examples and applied, project-based learning.
The Institute is boldly transforming how business education is designed and delivered around the world. As part of the Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership, the institute collaborates with the other centers and institutes for a truly unique approach to learning.
The Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership at Babson College is grounded in values-based leadership and enhances Babson’s entrepreneurial mindset beyond the classroom, equipping learners to grow as entrepreneurial leaders across industries and stages of life.
Few institutions currently have programs dedicated to franchising education, and business education as a whole is lacking in franchising expertise. Babson provides opportunities to rising entrepreneurs with specific expertise, knowledge, and skills that will bolster their success in their future endeavors.
