Despite America's lingering recession, its youth remain enthusiastic about one day becoming entrepreneurs. According to an online poll that was conducted on behalf of the Kauffman Foundation, 40 percent of youth aged eight to 24 indicated that they would someday like to start their own business.
The EWD's Business & Entrepreneurship Center (BEC) developed the Young Entrepreneurship Program (YEP), to prepare and guide the young entrepreneurial spirit in California and prepare students for this viable career path. The YEP delivers information about self-employment careers, as well as relevant education and entrepreneurial experiences, to young people between the ages of 14 and 27. The YEP helps these young students develop educational plans that will lead to both career and academic achievement, and ultimately result in a workforce that is more prepared to succeed in today's fast changing environment.
