Entrepreneurship

We empower our students to recognize that their thoughts are things - and that their creativity and imagination can become real and transformative contributions to our world. Not everyone has visions to be an entrepreneur, but everyone does have the potential for entrepreneurial thoughts. Cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset is about equipping those in our organization with a certain way of thinking, such as how they approach challenges and mistakes, instilling an inherent desire to improve skills, and developing perseverance to work  toward their full potential. When we talk about entrepreneurial development, we are not assuming that everyone will be an entrepreneur, but rather we are encouraging them to think like one.
