Entrepreneurship, or small business ownership, is an increasingly attractive option to young people and adults (including low-income populations, at-risk youth, and women) who are striving to find careers that are exciting to them and offer the potential for personal and financial success. Entrepreneurs must be self-starters, innovative, willing to try new things and take risks; they must be able to get along with others and be receptive to suggestions and criticism; they must be able to look at a situation, identify opportunities, gather resources, make business plans, and be persistent. Career and technical education (CTE) can help students develop these skills by integrating entrepreneurship education with academic and technical curricula that stresses financial, people management, interpersonal/communication, and business planning skills. Of significance in promoting entrepreneurship are curriculum approaches and delivery techniques that motivate students to stay connected to school and learn the skills required to succeed as small business owners. Flexibility in program structure and delivery, cultural competence, and collaboration are key components to entrepreneurship programs. (Contains 15 references.) (CG)
