Resource for Entrepreneurship Education and Community Colleges
The role community colleges play in building tech economies has grown substantially during the past decade beyond important, yet traditional, worker training programs. A new compendium from the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) provides several examples of efforts by its 14-member community colleges and technical schools to foster entrepreneurship. Highlighted programs include:
- Partnerships with K-12 education;
- Associate degree and certificate programs in entrepreneurship;
- Efforts cutting across the curriculum;
- A web-based course;
- Student business incubation; and,
- Incubators or small business development centers.
Profiles of Programs in Entrepreneurship Education includes contact information for each of the 18 activities covered in the 81-page report: http://www.nacce.com/PDF/Profiles.pdf
