The Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Group convened its inaugural meeting from September 26-28, 2007 at the Aspen Institute in Aspen, Colorado. A group of dynamic national leaders from the fields of education, entrepreneurship and business, public policy, media, and philanthropy met over three days to explore the promise of, and obstacles to, implementing youth entrepreneurship education in low-income communities nationwide. In partnership with E*TRADE Financial, the Aspen Institute and the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) created this educational public policy initiative to develop a concrete, viable strategy to advance the teaching of entrepreneurship--specifically in Title I high schools--and to prompt public discussion and action on teaching entrepreneurship to increased numbers of high school students from low-income communities. The conference was moderated by Dr. Jonathan Ortmans, President of the Public Forum institute, who has over 15 years of experience and decision making in the public policy field. This paper describes the highlights of the conference. Appendices include: (1) Acknowledgments; and (2) Perspectives: Entrepreneurship Training Can Empower Students Being Left Behind (Michael J. Caslin III, Porcher L. Taylor III, and Catherine S. Fisher). (Contains 9 endnotes.) [This report has been funded by grants from E*TRADE Financial, in partnership with the Aspen Institute and the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), and through the support of the panel member institutions of the Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Group.].

Preparing today's students for success and leadership in the global marketplace is the most important responsibility in education today. Providing them with guidance and opportunity at the most critical junctures along their educational journey can have a profound impact. Entrepreneurship Education is an important tool to achieving these objectives. This Guide makes the case for Entrepreneurship Education in the following ways: First, it details the extent of the innovation challenge facing America's young people, especially youth from low-income communities. It then details where and how Entrepreneurship Education can help engage children and teach critical skills. Thousands of local experiments in Entrepreneurship Education are underway around the globe. These experiences provide a host of useful insights about what works and what is needed in the field. Finally, the guide offers suggestions for what a policymaker can do to help prepare the youth to be economically productive members of society in the 21st century global economy. (Contains 1 table and 24 endnotes.) [This report was presented by the Aspen Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Group.].

A new report on entrepreneurship education calls for far greater attention to this curriculum just as the county is plunging deeper into economic challenges. "This disconnect between what employers want and what your youth bring to the table has major economic consequences," reads the Youth Entrepreneurship Education in America: A Policymaker's Action Guide, produced by the Aspen Institute Youth Entrepreneurship Strategy Group (YES). While recommendations are aimed at policymakers, public school principals are likely to hear about the proposals and may be asked to respond to them. The goal of the group publishing the report is to "ensure that each graduate from a high school that serves in a low-income community has educational opportunities to explore his or her entrepreneurial potential." It notes that entrepreneurial education programs are available in some school systems, but they don't reach "most American youth." A major focus of the report is creating greater engagement of students in their school work. A first step is introducing new curricula and teaching methods that show a connection between the classroom and work, the authors contend. Secondly, there needs to be better support systems for students who are struggling, according to the report. Thirdly, the school climate must reflect rigorous academics, effective relationships with the community, and relevancy throughout the curriculum.

Sri Lanka has long been regarded as a model of a successful welfare state in a low-income setting, yet it has not succeeded in creating a sufficient number of good jobs for the increasing number of young people. Hence, young Sri Lankans perceive their country as an unjust and unequal society, in which mainstream institutions have failed to address inequalities in the distribution of resources, as well as of benefits deriving from economic growth. Against this background, 'The Challenge of Youth Employment in Sri Lanka' aims to identify ways to improve the opportunities available to new job market entrants by addressing existing inequalities and to help young people more fully realize their potentials. Drawing from original research and a review of existing studies, the authors use the 4Es conceptual framework to analyze four key aspects of labor markets employment creation, employability, entrepreneurship, and equal opportunity identifying main issues and results, current trends, and possible new approaches.

Entrepreneurship has attracted global interest for its potential to catalyze economic and social development. Research suggesting that certain entrepreneurial mindsets and skills can be learned has given rise to the field of entrepreneurship education and training (EET). Despite the growth of EET, global knowledge about these programs and their impact remains thin. In response, this study surveys the available literature and program evaluations to propose a Conceptual Framework for understanding the EET program landscape. The study finds that EET today consists of a heterogeneous mix of programs that can be broken into two groups: entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship training. These programs target a range of participants: secondary and post-secondary education students, as well as potential and practicing entrepreneurs. The outcomes measured by program evaluations are equally diverse but generally fall under the domains of entrepreneurial mindsets and capabilities, entrepreneurial status, and entrepreneurial performance. The dimensions of EET programs vary according the particular target group. Programs targeting secondary education students focus on the development of foundational skills linked to entrepreneurship, while post-secondary education programs emphasize skills related to strategic business planning. Programs targeting potential entrepreneurs generally are embedded within broader support programs and tend to target vulnerable populations for whom employment alternatives may be limited. While programs serving practicing entrepreneurs focus on strengthening entrepreneurs knowledge, skills and business practices, which while unlikely to transform an enterprise in the near term, may accrue benefits to entrepreneurs over time. The study also offers implications for policy and program implementation, emphasizing the importance of clarity about target groups and desired outcomes when making program choices, and sound understanding of extent to which publicly-supported programs offer a broader public good, and compare favorably to policy alternatives for supporting the targeted individuals as well as the overall economic and social objectives.

The book provides an overview of developments in the field of entrepreneurship education, with special reference to global perspectives on innovations and best practices, as well as research in the emerging economy context. It focuses on various experiments in curriculum design, review and reform in addition to the innovative processes adopted for developing new content for entrepreneurship courses, in many cases with an assessment of their impact on students’ entrepreneurial performance. Further, it discusses the pedagogical methods introduced by teachers and trainers to enhance the effectiveness of students’ learning and their development as future entrepreneurs. It explains the various initiatives generally undertaken to broaden the scope of entrepreneurship education by extending it beyond regular students and offering it to other groups such as professionals, technicians, artisans, war veterans, and the unemployed. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and academics working in the field of entrepreneurship education as well as for trainers, consultants, mentors and policy makers.
