. PREPARE STUDENTS FOR AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE.
We live in an age of unprecedented global and technological transformation.
Today's students face an uncertain future full of complex global, social, and environmental issues.
According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs survey, half of today's work activities could be automated by 2055, creating completely new roles, responsibilities, and challenges for the future workforce.
Therefore, we cannot predict exactly what our students will need to know after they graduate.
Entrepreneurship-focused programs teach students crucial life skills that will help them navigate this uncertain future.
These skills include problem-solving, teamwork, empathy, as well as learning to accept failure as a part of the growth process.
As standardized testing has become more common in public schools, opportunities for students to innovate and collaborate with others have become more scarce.
Entrepreneurship education encourages creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
These attributes are highly valued by the top colleges in the world and will serve your child well beyond middle school and high school.
Students need to learn how to identify problems before they learn how to solve them.
Problem-solving has been taught in schools for decades — but the same cannot be said for problem identification.
Traditionally, problem-solving is taught by presenting students with issues that are already clearly defined by someone else.
In the real world, problems can only be solved when they have been properly identified and described.
Entrepreneurship education teaches children to identify problems they have never encountered before — a skill that will be very useful in tomorrow’s world.
In her bestselling book “Grit,” researcher and professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, Angela Duckworth states that “grit” may be the single most important factor in a person’s long term success.
Her research shows that grades, intelligence, and socioeconomic status do not stack up to the characteristic she defines as “grit.”
According to Duckworth, grit consists of passion and sustained persistence applied toward long-term achievement.
The demanding and uncertain entrepreneurship journey requires more passion and sustained persistence than most other activities.
This makes an entrepreneurship-focused program ideal for developing grit in your students.
Entrepreneurs seek to solve problems, meet needs, and ease pain points with the help of their products and services.
They are hard-wired to make a difference and make the world a better place.
By participating in entrepreneurship programs, students don’t just become ready to create their own futures — they become ready to change the world.
