Entrepreneurship
In a world of accelerating change, where both challenges and opportunities abound, students need to learn how to live and work in an enterprising way, either as entrepreneurs who take the initiative to create new ventures or as enterprising individuals who apply their skills, attitudes, and abilities while working within the various organizations that contribute to our society.The need to be enterprising is further emphasized by the exponential growth of e-commerce and the economic opportunities it presents. Students will have opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attributes of entrepreneurs and enterprising employees by organizing an event, planning a school-based business, or completing a venture plan with an e-commerce component. Students will use these skills to learn how to live and work as creative problem solvers who welcome and successfully manage change.
