Teachers Resources

Introduction

How does our society produce entrepreneurs? Usually it is by default: people who grow up in entrepreneurial families who run anything from small produce shops to national or even international corporations pick up the know-how to start their own businesses in everyday life. Children whose families have friends who own their own businesses also learn entrepreneurial skills and attitudes without trying. But what about the rest?

That's where teachers make a difference. A well-taught entrepreneurship course helps students with no knowledge about how to start up a business learn those skills and, ideally, get practice in essential activities. Why should budding entrepreneurs learn everything through personal experience, with a greater risk of failure than those in the know? You can improve the chances of these students, and have a positive influence on our economy at the same time.

This site will help you guide students toward entrepreneurship training in institutions beyond the high school. At the same time, we hope to help you organize entrepreneurship courses in your own school, giving students a powerful boost toward their futures, whether in further education or in their current circumstances.
