Entrepreneurship, or small business ownership, is an |
|
increasingly attractive option to young people and adults |
|
(including low-income populations, at-risk youth, and |
|
women) who are striving to find careers that are exciting |
|
to them and offer the potential for personal and |
|
financial success. Entrepreneurs must be self-starters, |
|
innovative, willing to try new things and take risks; |
|
they must be able to get along with others and be |
|
receptive to suggestions and criticism; they must be able |
|
to look at a situation, identify opportunities, gather |
|
resources, make business plans, and be persistent. Career |
|
and technical education (CTE) can help students develop |
|
these skills by integrating entrepreneurship education |
|
with academic and technical curricula that stresses |
|
financial, people management, |
|
interpersonal/communication, and business planning |
|
skills. Of significance in promoting entrepreneurship are |
|
curriculum approaches and delivery techniques that |
|
motivate students to stay connected to school and learn |
|
the skills required to succeed as small business owners. |
|
Flexibility in program structure and delivery, cultural |
|
competence, and collaboration are key components to |
|
entrepreneurship programs. (Contains 15 references.) (CG) |
