Exciting Entrepreneurship Resource!
November 25, 2008
I was lucky enough to attend a conference last week called HomeTown YouthForce: Engaging the Entrepreneurial Generation. The conference hosts included the Heartland Center for Leadership Development and Center for Rural Entrepreneurship. I will share more of what I learned with the youth learning team next Tuesday, December 2nd, but I wanted to share one of the resources that was featured. It’s called ESI: EntrepreneurShip Investigation.
ESI: EntrepreneurShip Investigation is a 4-H curriculum initiative that several organizations in Nebraska have developed for middle school aged children to introduce and develop entrepreneurship skills. The program includes hands-on activities that encourage experiential learning, community connections, and a CD-Rom application that integrates technology.
What’s most exciting to me is the role this curriculum could play in community development initiatives in Faulkton. What better investment can we make than encouraging our young people to follow their passion, with the understanding that it is something they can do at home?
I’ll bring my copy on Tuesday to share! See you then!
