LESSON 1: BENEFITS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION

TO STUDENTS AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AS CAREER

Benefits of Entrepreneurship Education to Students

Entrepreneurship education focuses on developing real-world skills that will help students
to lead exceptional lives in a rapidly changing world.
Entrepreneurship education teaches students crucial life skills, such as:
 How to collaborate and work with a team
 How to speak in public and prepare an effective presentation
 How to collect and analyze data
 How to use social media as an advocacy tool
 How to solve real, complex problems that don’t have a definitive answer
 How to use curiosity and creativity to find an innovative approach to difficult
problems
Students learn to understand the product development cycle, come up with their own
unique business proposals, and deliver multiple pitch presentations.
This process results in a superior college prep experience that serves our students long
after they've graduated high-school.
Entrepreneurship education does not just benefit those entering the fields of science,
technology, and business.
Students of art, music, and humanities can develop their imagination and learn how to
apply creative thinking skills to real-world problems.
 
Five Benefits of Entrepreneurship Education for Students
 
1. 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.
 
2. LEAVE ROOM FOR CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION.
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.
 
3. TEACH PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION.
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.
 
4. DEVELOP GRIT.
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.
 
5. MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
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.

Job Opportunities for Entrepreneurship as Career

1. Mid-level management
At big companies, the C-level folks develop ideas, the ground force does the work,
and mid-level management converts the idea into execution. Graduates with entrepreneurial
degrees are well suited for this opportunity. C-level corporate jobs are the top executive
positions in a company. The jobs of these high-level managers are called “C-level” because
of their typical titles usually begin with “C” for “Chief,” such as Chief Executive officer
(CEO).

2. Business consultant
The Fortune 500 is ripe with business consultants. The Fortune 500 is an annual list
compiled and published by Fortune magazine that ranks 500 of the largest United States
corporations by total revenue for their respective fiscal years. The list includes publicly held
companies, along with privately held companies for which revenues are publicly available.

They need people who can go to a client site, identify problems and fix them. That is what an
entrepreneur does, and that is why this job is perfect for you. You have the training to help
identify things that others may not pick up on and the training to know how to fix them.

3. Sales
Someone who works in sales or runs the department needs to know how businesses
run. They need to know how to represent a company, manage accounts, and follow up on
leads. 

4. Research and development

To work in R&D, you need to understand business concepts, procedures, and
practices. With all of the training and education someone has received learning about
entrepreneurship, they are well prepared for this type of position.

5. Not-for-profit fundraiser
Being able to raise funds requires understanding the importance of business and
networking relationships. It is a great place for someone with this type of degree because you
will have experience in studying advanced concepts that can be used to your advantage on the
job.

6. Teacher
Teach a core competency (e.g., math, history, literature, etc.), but teach students the
entrepreneurial side. Teach them the benefits of math to business, history to innovation, and
literature to persuasive advertising.

7. Recruiter
Having had courses that cover operations management, leadership, and a variety of
others, you most likely have a keen sense of what type of person is needed to fulfill a
position. Companies who use recruiters rely upon someone being not just people savvy, but
having an in-depth business sense as well.

8. Business reporter
If you can write articles, or pick up a quick class to learn it, you are in a prime
position to take the lead on covering a local business beat. You will understand the field and
concepts and can use your knowledge to make the business section that much more
interesting and telling.
