Entrepreneurship is a key driver of our economy. Wealth and 80% of jobs are created by small businesses and started by entrepreneurially minded individuals, many of whom go on to create big businesses. People exposed to entrepreneurship frequently express that they have more opportunity to exercise creative freedoms, higher self-esteem, and an overall greater sense of control over their own lives and time.

As a result, many experienced business people political leaders, economists, and educators believe that fostering a robust entrepreneurial culture will maximize individual and collective economic and social success on a local, national, and global scale. It is with this in mind that the School of Entrepreneurship was developed to prepare youth and adults to succeed in an entrepreneurial economy.
