“Youth Entrepreneurship as a Tool in Workforce Development”

Non-profits that work with youth, should sign up to hear senior staff from the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, (South Bronx -NYC), Ms. Amy Rosen, Ms. McKinney and Ms. Horn. They will co-host the webinar with Asst. Secretary Oates and will provide specific examples of what works “in the field” of entrepreneurship education.

They plan to describe and demonstrate best practices in entrepreneurship education for young people (ages 11-22) from low-income communities. The hosts are hoping to spark discussion about how these practices have been implemented, evaluated, and revised, and how to use them in new settings. Suggestions will be made on ways in which entrepreneurship as taught in schools, can be better connected with workforce development initiatives in other settings.

This event took place on January 22; the presentation slides used for the Webinar are posted. click here
