We agree with Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke in his support for entrepreneurship on January 19, 2010, when he said ...
"There is simply no better vehicle for job creation than fostering entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs create approximately three million jobs a year. Over the last three decades, startups -- firms less than five years old -- have accounted for nearly ALL increased employment in the American private sector.
As America continues to work through this exceptionally trying recession, we can look back on our history and say with confidence that we will get through it – and when we do, entrepreneurs will be leading the charge."
Yet our education system has not yet embraced the idea that entrepreneurship education is a lifelong learning process that could be part of all academic and career-oriented education for all young people. And as a result we could open up young eyes to their opportunities for success.
