Whether in your own company, in an established firm, or in pursuit of solving social problems, entrepreneurship is about developing the skill set to blaze your own trails and turn problems into actionable opportunities.

Do you value flexibility, being innovative, and learning new things?
Are you resourceful, self-directed, and willing to commit to things you feel passionately about?
Are you interested in learning about how you might effectively turn an idea into something tangible and sustainable?
Do you think some day you might want to do things your own way in your career?

If so, this session will provide you with information on our nationally recognized entrepreneurship program. Through our courses, connections, and opportunities for hands-on experience, you can develop a skill set that will last throughout your career, in whatever area you specialize in. Entrepreneurial skills are the foundation for thinking innovatively and acting –smartly—on opportunities.
