Kane Sarhan: Redesigning the Apprentice Model

Kane Sarhan was inspired by his stints as an apprentice to a Coyote Ugly owner and the CEO of LocalResponse in his design of Enstitute, of which he is the co-founder. Enstitute is an innovative learn-by-doing program based on the traditional apprenticeship program but with a twist – students combine online and classroom curricula with 1-2 years of apprenticeship with the founders and chief executive offers at corporations and startups. The learn-by-doing university is the first of its kind with its emphasis on business, entrepreneurship, technology and design.

Kane has been honored for his work including his inclusion in the prestigious “30 Under 30 Innovators in Education” by Forbes Magazine, in the "Top 25 Young Innovator in New York Tech" of Business Insider, and "31 Most Important LGBT People in Tech" by New York Tech. He is also a 2013 Echoing Green Fellow. He is a speaker on education and innovation as well as a featured person in several publications including The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and CNN.
