You'll hear many academics say that a college or university is not a business. However, it's useful to step back and understand the dynamics at play between administration, staff, faculty and students.

For others, it's represents the potential to make a difference, create jobs and be independent. Regardless of whether or not you have startup dreams, an entrepreneurial mindset is of vital importance in your career and entrepreneurship training can help you acquire that mindset. Why is it so important? Our friends over at the KEEN program answer that well in the following video.<br><br>{{#widget:Youtube|id=WZHvRpuemgk|width=800|height=600}}<br><br>
