Changes

Many students have dreams and desires for their future. However not everyone knows their potential impacts towards society. From a young age, children may dream about how we can help the world become a better place. As the youth grow older, that vision of global-impact may sometimes fade or become minimized since the norm of society does not encourage entrepreneurship at a young age.

Entrepreneurs mostly consist of visionaries because they can value opporunity and take the risk to turn their vision into reality. Almost all successful companies are founded by visionaries following their dream. As children grow old, their determination is strengthened and they become a matured version of their former self.

It is important to advocate for youth entrepreneurship in a proper way. Primarily, attention must be leveraged from many student voices, existing youth entrepreneurs, staff and teachers in support of entrepreneurship, and other visionaries.  For example, surveys can be given to students so that they can voice their opinions about entrepreneurship. The staff from schools can also help by signing a petition in support of educating their students of entrepreneurship. Additionally, the media should be involved to portray a vision with the purpose of entrepreneurship to serve everyone, and not just cater to entrepreneurs themselves. It is important for public to see that entrepreneurship is an option that allows everyone to put more value towards innovation, not just founders of successful companies.

= Creating an Initiative with State Government =

According to Keaton Wadzinski, creating an initiative with the state government allows them to get involved with the needs of the foundation established for innovation and entrepreneurship. In collaboration with the state government, students can better voice their opinions and be heard so that more schools can have proper and fulfilling standards for entrepreneurial readiness.

Moreover, dedicated to the entrepreneurship cause should be able to bring together different schools. For example, Keaton mentioned that his school faculty were able to bring together different deparments such as the school of public policy, school of social entrepreneurship, school of commerce, and the engineering school. These departments worked together with the state government and met together as an innovation summit that proposed a transisciplinary minor for innovation and entrepreneurship.

While it may seem easy to involve state government, much consideration has to be done before proposing an idea that may take too long to achieve. For example, reimbursements of time and money may be scarce, as well as the support for integrating entrepreneurship in academics can be difficult.
