Entrepreneurship education is the engine that fuels small businesses and job creation. Our local and national economies have moved towards a service-based economy, making small businesses essential to job creation and growth. With unemployment at a record high now is the time to start and grow an Entrepreneurship program at your Community College. Increase the awareness of the program throughout the college and the local community through targeted events that highlight students and their work. Tie the program to past graduates and allow them the opportunity to share their experience with the current students.
