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.].

Our government is being strangled by partisan politics, youth employment is at a 60-year low, and student loan debt has surpassed $1 trillion--and yet young Americans are starting businesses in record numbers, all over the United States. If we want Millennials (and future generations) to survive and thrive in the new economy, then we need to funnel this entrepreneurial energy into something positive, or risk turning the Millennial generation into a lost generation. The solutions in this book represent the beginning of an important conversation about how to support and foster the real leaders of tomorrow. From policy ideas and educational programs, to private sector solutions and philanthropic activities, #FixYoungAmerica provides best practices and tangible solutions for solving the epidemic of youth unemployment--straight from the individuals and organizations that are already in the trenches, working to rebuild an entrepreneurial America right now.

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.

In an increasingly competitive world market, how does the United States rank? Many Americans are worried about the economic state of their nation, especially now that countries like China are becoming ever more economically powerful. What does America need to both stabilize and energize its economy? Entrepreneurship, Steve Mariotti claims, is vital. An Entrepreneur’s Manifesto is Mariotti’s rallying cry for the world to recognize the potential that business creation holds for the individual and the economy. Mariotti explores how entrepreneurship affects schools and prisons, developed cities and isolated villages, brick-and-mortar stores, and internet-based businesses. He takes a hard look at the research on entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurship, government policy, and the social and cultural attributes most likely to foster successful business creation, incorporating his discussions with some of the best minds on the question of entrepreneurship. Mariotti also examines how the rise of the Internet and Web-based innovations like crowdfunding have both changed—and not changed—the fundamentals of promoting those who take the ultimate gamble of going into business for themselves. As the author of several leading textbooks on the subject and founder of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), a global nonprofit organization that has educated more than 500,000 students and trained more than 5,000 teachers in 50 countries, Mariotti is both an experienced and reliable leader in what he calls the entrepreneurial revolution. Mariotti frequently writes for the Huffington Post and has been recruited by the State Department to discuss his ideas on youth entrepreneurship in Cambodia and other developing countries seeking to escape the shackles of centrally planned economic policies. Neither a dry recitation of academic theory nor a scattered collection of feel-good stories, An Entrepreneur’s Manifesto builds on Mariotti’s unique perspective to offer a critique that is both inspiring and practical. Riveting stories complement enlightening real-world perspectives, making the work relatable and inspiring. “There is no more revolutionary act,” Mariotti says, “than starting a business.”
