Education and Skill Development for Future Entrepreneurs

Based on information from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy, "Entrepreneurship education is becoming more available at American universities, and researchers are looking at the results. Students who took an entrepreneurship class were more likely to have engaged in three types of "innovation": offering new products or services, obtaining patents or copyrights, and using production techniques that differ from those of the industry’s main competitor. Not surprisingly, graduates who have taken such courses are significantly more likely to select careers in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship education is more and more available to people looking at career options, whether at the beginning of their working lives or in mid-career.
